Carr’s Pond Books
2021
For several months I, alongside Frederick Horton, Maxton O’Connor and Nate Krohn, consistently visiting Carr's Pond, a dense forest and lake, which is about forty-five minutes outside of Providence in rural Rhode Island used for recreational swimming, camping and hunting. We became interested in ways to both see and be seen within the site, where day-glo neon orange is legally required during hunting season. This led us to make visual studies on the roles of both day-glo and camouflage within this landscape. Our studies eventually culminated in printing a handful of books, as well as designing a reversible windbreaker with which to more thoughtfully exist and travel through the land.
