The Forgotten Land of North Guilford

 The Forgotten Land of North Guilford

2019-present, palladium prints, 4x5 inches

This series of images focuses on the landscapes of north Guilford.  Guilford, CT, a shoreline town, is known for its historical homes on the beautiful Green, the picturesque Grass Island and the water of the Long Island Sound.   There is another aspect to Guilford which is the subtle beauty of the land of “North Guilford,” the land north of route 80. It is not as dramatic as a sunset on Faulkner Island but there is a magical allure to land itself.  The light shining on an ancient silver maple, a rock wall with growing moss or the fog on Lake Quonnipaug are enchanting yet simple. This series celebrates the striking beauty that can be found in the land north of the sea. 

The photographs are taken using a 4x5 inch large format camera and printed in the platinum palladium process.  The images are printed in precious metals which further emphasizes the innate value of this beautiful land. The small size forces the viewer to look closely at these intimate spaces.  The final photographs are 4x5 inches.
