About the Image
This photograph is at the intersection of two projects: my work in the Bean Creek neighborhood on Indianapolis’s south side and my Mississippi River Watershed project for Exhibit Columbus. Both projects foreground waterways as elements of the environment that influence us in profound and unexpected ways. Here, a remarkable handmade house sits on the east bank of the White River in Indianapolis, opposite a food manufacturing company on the west bank.
