Lot Essay

“The strength in any work is its character and intelligence. The way the parts join. What does that mean? I’m interested in the form, but only in terms of its depth and reflection. I’m not interested simply in how two things come together, but I know that the way two things come together is significant. I’m interested in the metaphor, in what it implies, and in how communicative and loaded that can be.”

-Joel Shapiro quoted in Joel Shapiro Outdoors, Bolger Publications, Minneapolis, 1995, p. 29.
