S.B. WALKER: WALDEN
MAY 4 – JUNE 23, 2017
ARTIST RECEPTION AND BOOK SIGNING THURSDAY, MAY 4, 6-8PM
“Deeply rooted in the American collective conscious, Walden Pond is a mythical place perceived as wild and often considered to be the birthplace of the modern environmental movement. The contemporary Walden depicted in Walker’s photographs is perhaps best characterized as a glorified suburban park, nestled amongst the sprawl of metropolitan Boston. As our awareness of the place is largely derived from Thoreau’s rhapsodic description some 150 years ago — writings in which he often drew connections between New England and the pastoral Arcadian landscape portrayed by the Roman poet Virgil — the state of affairs as shown in Walker’s Walden reveals a thought provoking and troubling paradox.”
