"In Christmas Day Bucks Pond Road his second book with The Ice Plant Brooklyn-based photographer Tim Carpenter born 1968 revisits the Central Illinois topography of his first monograph Local Objects with a sequence of 56 black-and-white medium-format photographs all made on a single winter morning. In Local Objects he meandered this semi-rural Midwestern landscape through changing seasons in an abstract sequence but here Carpenter follows a straightforward path literally taking the viewer on a two-hour walk from point A to point B. Nothing much happens along this brief narrative arc—there are fallow fields standing water dormant trees the occasional tire track on worn pavement—yet Carpenter explores the stillness of this outdoor space with a palpable almost erotic anticipation revealing intimate subtleties as the journey unfolds. Made with an intensity of attention and a lightness of touch the photographs in Christmas Day Bucks Pond Road are less about the confines of this specific time and place than about a poetic strategy for narrowing the distance between human desire and the factual content of the everyday world." -Publisher's notes.
