Black River Falls was a great pleasure to create as I got to collage images to the music of 2 long term favorites—composer Dick Connette and singer Suzzy Roche. The lucidity and power of the lyrics gave me a great deal of freedom to create a visual montage that complemented and enlarged the dark overview of the town being described. The imagery was culled from a 1930’s encyclopedia that I purchased in a highway rest stop restaurant/used bookstore on the Massachusetts turnpike way back in the early 1980’s.  I’ve been looking ever since to find the right context for these images— Black River Falls was worth the wait!
