INDEPENDENCE PARK
Taking photographs of the sea and sky at Independence Park, near my home in Beverly, Massachusetts, is an almost daily activity, the first thing I do in the morning after I've left the house.
Besides evoking a link to the United States’ origins (Independence Park was the first place north of Boston where the Declaration of Independence was read), creating these images evokes a sense of connection with vastness and an appropriate resizing of my worries and concerns, much like the perspective I get from Chinese landscape scrolls, where the people are tiny figures on an apparently infinite landscape.
My intention is to display these images in conjunction with a set of photomosaics assembled from the 1500 or so photographs I have taken from this vantage point in Independence Park, along with images I have yet to take on the harbor islands themselves.
