This image was a turning point as it led to the discovery that early American abstract artists Arthur Dove and Helen Torr were inspired by the very same landscape nearly one hundred years before us…and in many ways had a complex relationship similar to ours that influenced and inspired their art. When I discovered a parallel to our Brush/Lens collaboration, I renamed this work in homage to them….and Ward said, “Oh, there’s this Dove-Torr House, it’s a little ramshackle cottage and I can take you there if you’d like to see it.” Of course I shrieked yes!
