Summary
On this special episode of Painting Discourse, I paint a rural house I returned to on location after many years while talking about art photographer Alec Soth’s intimate photo series on Niagara Falls in he early 2000s. I Discuss growing up in the region next to a tourist trap, localism, geographic meaning complexes, post-industrialization, the transformation of the landscape due to changing culture and politics, and Soth’s theme of the Falls representing both intimacy and death in the human soul.
