Chez Pierre has MOVED
Visual Poems
precious time is slipping away
hope it don’t rain all day
Chez Pierre has MOVED
maybe there will be a place to stop and rest awhile
beyond the horizon
Three Songs
salvation after a while
follow the river, it leads to the sea

Chez Pierre has MOVED is a boxed set of nine books that are handmade by
the artist. Each book is 9.5 x 8 inches and contains between 15 and 19
images. Images are pigment ink printed on Red River Palo Dura paper. Hard
covers are linen and Epson Matte paper on book board. Edition limited to 10
sets.

Each title is composed with a set of images that when brought together
resonate and fall into a visual rhythm that somehow goes beyond the linear
narrative. The images are from New England where I live and the
southeastern states where I grew up and now visit. I see myself as searching
for awareness and understanding in small places where I have a long
acquaintance. The photographs are for me a means of breaking these human
spaces down into fragments and slowing down the celestial clock that never
stops ticking. The recombining of images in books becomes a means of
unlocking the human experience from each image, and in smallish and rather
personal ways trying to understand my part of this mostly bewildering age of
man.
