the photographs document oxbow, an art school in saugatuck michigan
which began in 1910 and is currently affiliated with the school of the art institute
in chicago.these photographs record the creative spirits which inhabit the
architectural spaces. layers of years and ever changing use continue to
impact its physical spaces just as hundred of artists have been impacted by
their summer experience at oxbow. the photographs capture a moment
in its historic record. visually, light is the active force which highlights and
defines both space and color.
