Poem by Maureen N. McLane
Place (Series) explores how small interventions can alter our reading of a space. Bill Jacobson inserts rectangles of different colors and surfaces into natural and constructed settings, bringing abstraction into direct contact with the photographed world. These sharply focused images invite attention to the relationships between an object, its surroundings, and the viewer’s expectations. A poem by Maureen N. McLane accompanies the photographs, adding another way to consider how places are made through perception, intention, and desire.
