Three Places in New England Collection
The fourth part, “Three Places in New England,” presents another series of road encounters with the transcendental—Walden Pond; Mt. Auburn Cemetery; Montpelier, Vermont; the house of Charles Ives in Danbury. The work of Ives has moved me since my late teens, and Ives is an important presence in my conception of this project–“the unanswered question”. Chosen without an explicit narrative frame, these images convey an essence that I perceived in New England, yet the photographs are not intended as a distillation or advertisement of the region. The images are strange, alienated, depopulated, a representation of human artifacts counterposed to the effects of time.
