| New Brunswickâ s Fundy Coast has always been a place of movement. The massive tides are so integral to the regionâ s identity that their ebb and flow defines the character of the place. St. George has seen more than its fair share of the ebb and flow of people and prospects â the typical story of incoming trade and riches, followed by dwindling opportunities. But interest has recently returned to St. George, drawn there by an appreciation for non-urban locales of stark natural beauty, affordability, and down-to-earth people. Photographer Susan Lapides has been visiting St. George for over twenty-five years. Her deep commitment to capturing the character of place is brilliantly matched by her innate sense of composition and colour. Her work testifies to the fact that the everyday can be mesmerizing if we are lucky enough to have the right interpreter behind the lens. In Lapidesâ s photographs, the dusk cobalt blues of the ocean and sky become symphonic and a windswept cliff with a lighthouse, dog, lacrosse player, and tree appear as powerful and enigmatic as an Edward Hopper painting. La cĂ´te de Fundy a toujours Ă©tĂ© un lieu de mouvements. Les marĂ©es dâ une amplitude hors du commun ont marquĂ© lâ identitĂ© de cette rĂ©gion du Nouveau-Brunswick, dont le caractère sâ est forgĂ© au grĂ© des vagues. Il y en a eu, des vagues, Ă St. George! De gens, de perspectives et de fortunes. Lâ histoire typique dâ un essor commercial et de richesses qui abondent, puis dĂ©clinent. Et voilĂ que St. George suscite un regain dâ intĂ©rĂŞt notable, alimentĂ© par la beautĂ© brute des environs de la ville, des prix abordables et le charme des gens sans prĂ©tention. Susan Lapides frĂ©quente St. George depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, appareil photo Ă lâ Ĺ il. Sa dĂ©termination Ă saisir la personnalitĂ© du lieu nâ a dâ Ă©gal que son sens innĂ© de la composition et de la couleur. Ses clichĂ©s prouvent que le quotidien peut ĂŞtre fascinant, pour peu que lâ interprète derrière la lentille en soit parfaitement conscient. Le bleu cobalt de lâ ocĂ©an et du ciel au crĂ©puscule a une nette tonalitĂ© symphonique. Le phare, le chien, le joueur de crosse et lâ arbre qui animent une falaise balayĂ©e par le vent Ă©voquent autant de prĂ©sence et de mystère quâ un tableau dâ Edward Hopper. |
