On 11 September last year, artist and writer Gabrielle Motola rode a motorbike from Stonehenge in England to Arctic Henge in Iceland, photographing the landscape while she went. “Riding a motorbike is incredibly thrilling for many reasons,” she says of the journey, which is documented in a new show at After Nyne Gallery in London, “but what makes it most so, is that while on one, you are immersed in your surroundings and connected—to yourself, to the machine and to the road. Riding is a meditation. So much of modern life is constructed to keep us out of our environments, disconnected from them, or each other.”
