Marion Belanger is a lens-based artist whose work investigates the cultural landscape at the intersection of geology and the built environment. With the support of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, she photographed the contested Everglades ecosystem, focusing on the wetlands of the protected National Park and the drained swampland of the historic Everglades, where housing developments, sugarcane fields, and water-control structures occupy the landscape. For Rift/Fault, Belanger documented the two land-based edges of the North American Continental Plate: the San Andreas Fault in California and the Mid-Atlantic Rift in Iceland. Her work has been recognized through the 2017 Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography, two fellowships from the American Scandinavian Foundation, and grants from the Kittredge Foundation, the Puffin Foundation, the Artist Resource Trust, and the State of Connecticut. Belanger is the author of Everglades: Outside and Within, with an essay by Susan Orlean (Center for American Places at Columbia College Chicago, 2009); Rift/Fault, with an essay by Lucy Lippard (Radius Books, 2016); and Garden, Ranch House, and Edge (ROMAN NVMERALS). She participates in two collectives: The Birthday Club and Environmental Photographers. She resides in Guilford, Connecticut, and teaches at the Hartford Art School and in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program at Wesleyan University. Across her practice, Belanger brings sustained attention to places shaped by environmental pressure, human intervention, and geological time.
