LUCINDA DEVLIN - LAKE PICTURES

Lake Project is a series of color photographs of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes bordering the state of Michigan, by American photographer Lucinda Devlin (born 1947). The pictures--taken from the same vantage point, during different seasons and at different times of day or night--explore the changing character and nature of the lake, in the interplay of day and season, wind, sun and moonlight upon the reflections on the water's surface and the variously colored glows of the atmosphere above.
Precisely bisecting Devlin's square images, the thin line of the horizon suggests the immensity of the space between these two elements, pulling the viewer into the center of the photographs where they converge.
