Ingold comments, “might we not learn more about the material composition of the inhabited world by engaging quite directly with the stuff we want to understand: by sawing logs, building a wall, knapping a stone or rowing a boat? Could not such engagement-working practically with materials-offer a more powerful procedure of discovery than an approach bent on the abstract analysis of things already made?”
Ana Mendieta is an artist who often focused on a spiritual and physical connection with the Earth, She states, “I become an extension of nature and nature becomes an extension of my body.”
Ingold furthers this comment by stating how the body cannot be separate from the world because we are apart of the world. Golden also states that we as individuals should interact with the landscape in order to understand it more.
