Photographs by Lisa McCarty
Texts by Rebecca Norris Webb & Kirsten Rian
Hardcover, 8x10 in. 124 pages

Transcendental Concord combines original texts by Transcendentalist writers with photographs I made in their homes and the surrounding landscape in Concord, MA.

"We tend to think of the camera as a literal tool, but for many it is a medium of abstraction, and McCarty utilizes photography well to create imagery steeped in history but presenting current considerations on culture and community." —Kirsten Rian
