Synopsis
Compiles uninhabited spaces - even if temporarily - each resonating with a unique and telling history. A landscape, for Dow, is fashioned by ordinary individuals leaving their mark on their surroundings through everyday acts, unconscious of the enduring effect these changes have on our world. Signs and billboards, barbershops, office buildings, libraries, pool halls, private clubs, courthouses and motels. These places belong to a world made primarily by and for American men and are naturally imbued with that identity.

About the Author
Jim Dow studied graphic design and photography at the Rhode Island School of Design during the 1960s. From that time forward he has been the recipient of numerous commissions, fellowships, and grants that have allowed him to travel and photograph as well as exhibit and publish extensively. His subjects include folk art, roadside architecture, signs, county courthouses, baseball parks, soccer stadiums, private clubs, barbeque joints, and taco trucks. He is fascinated by the way people leave their mark on both the rural and urban landscape and seeks to preserve this through photography.He lives in Boston and teaches at Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.
