About the Image
Sea House, 2020 is a double exposure made from an exercise of moving in between a house and the coast of the Atlantic. The proximity of everything in New England to big water interests me. I wanted think of the home as an elemental material, just like water. The home pictured is Robbins’ House in Concord, MA. It is the preserved structure of a Black revolutionary war veteran, Caesar Robbins, built in 1823.
