N. Masani Landfair’s interdisciplinary practice is rooted in exploring the complexities of identity, memory, and nonlinear narratives, as well as investigating the ways different kinds of histories—personal, sacred, collective—intersect. She intends for her work to be a vehicle for dialogue, whether internal (within herself) or external (with audience). 

The world around her is a primary source of inspiration, and her work often responds to current events, environmental concerns, and personal experiences. Landfair’s creative process usually starts with an emotional or conceptual fragment—a feeling, a thought, or an image—that she is instinctively compelled to explore. She relies on both studio time and on-site observations to gather materials and ideas, refining her practice moving between these spaces. Research in the form of meditating, reading, storytelling, and conversations with other creatives and community members deepens understanding of the world she aims to  represent.

N. Masani Landfair tends to work across multiple mediums simultaneously, using collage, photography, installation, poetry, film, and drawing, she communicates intricate layers of experience and enables the resulting work to develop organically. She takes care to let intuition lead the way, but also maintains a structured process to ensure she stays committed to specific ideas and goals. The interdisciplinary foundation of this approach ultimately allows for rich, complex expressions of the ongoing negotiations between nature, identity, reflection, and self-empowerment. As her nonlinear creative techniques constantly evolve, she continues to seek new ways to connect and communicate truths about these themes.
