This photographer captured the random placement of New England’s wind turbines
A Boston photographer’s newest series transforms New England’s wind turbines from progressive energy pillars into sore thumbs.
Greer Muldowney told Slate she noticed the conspicuous crop of clean energy turbines when she returned to Massachusetts in 2012, and set out to capture their jarring placement in the picturesque New England landscape.
According to the article, Muldowny was interested in the almost science-fiction feel the turbines added to the classic American landscape, like some sort of omnipresent element masters.
“I was looking for these scenarios, not necessarily typically New England but something very American like a Sunday morning football game or a Walmart parking lot,’’ she told Slate. “And then all of the sudden there is this very present abruption in it … you’re not thinking that it’s going to be an image like this.’’
Muldowney’s work will be on view in Massachusetts at Clark University through January 20.
