Thoreau Journals and Walden: Four Views

These four works are visual responses to Thoreau’s observations of Walden. Using his writing as a map for my picture- making walks helped me stay within a well defined physical territory while at the same time giving me the freedom to imagine new visual variations on this well known site. The form of the pond is set but the possibility of finding a variety of worlds within it is endless and open to new eyes. Thoreau was a keen observer of the physical. In these pictures I hope to suggest a mix of the objective and the subjective- a pond of the body and of the mind too.
