Voice of the Landscape: Earth Elegies III WebClip [42-seconds]
The
FOREVER WILD PORTFOLIO was started to coincide with the 100th anniversary of
the NYS Constitutional amendment that set aside, for the first time in this
country, lands to be held in trust for future generations. This clause, known
as "Forever Wild," established the Catskill and Adirondack Preserves
and predates the establishment of the US National Parks system.
We have
included Hudson River images in this portfolio, as we feel that, although, technically
outside the Blue Line - the preserves' boundaries - the River has had a profound
effect upon American art, literature and philosophy. Its beauty was a driving
force behind those who helped to create this magnificent gift.
For
most of our lives, we have lived nearby or in sight of this majestic River and
it has played a significant role in shaping our work/involvement with the environment.
