The Devil's Pool photographs explore a swimming hole in
Philadelphia's Wissahickon Park and emphasize the value of access
to green spaces within an urban setting. The project investigates
how people relate to their environment and affirms a human need or
impulse to commune with the natural world. The work pictures
diversity, celebrating the human body interacting with nature, and
looks at relationships among people, their bodies, and the
environments that they inhabit. It recognizes a long tradition of
bathing throughout art history (both indoors and out in nature) and
the potential for a pictorial space where the body can be openly
represented and honored. This work considers the reflexivity in
viewing imagery of people fully taken by their physical and
psychological surroundings. Devil's Pool stems from my love for the
Wissahickon and the respite that it provides. People from all over
are drawn to this urban swimming hole as a place to play and revel
in physicality and nature. The images depict moments of coherence
among our bodies and the world around us. At Devil's Pool, I am
able to expand my admiring picture of everyday bodies, their owners
absorbed in unselfconscious presence.
