CIRCLES

Ralph Waldo Emerson + Lisa McCarty

In Circles, Lisa McCarty pairs the complete text of Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay "Circles" (1841) with images she has made with a Polaroid SX-70 camera and instant film between 2011-2015. The combination of text and image explores the ways in which the circle is both an underlying form in nature and a metaphor for the human condition.
