This set of images is of the historic village of Harmony, PA. Led by George Rapp, leader of the Harmony Society of Lutheran Separatists, a party of German settlers established the town in 1804; in 1815, the town and 6000 acres were sold to the ‘second founder,’ Abraham Ziegler, a Mennonite blacksmith, and it was the Mennonites who shaped the development of the town thereafter.
This series forms the first part of a collection of photographs scattered over time and place that I have called ‘Americana’ - images of a country that has been written about, photographed, studied and commented upon from many perspectives - think Robert Frank, Robert Adams, Walker Evans - yet remains (to the outsider at least) elusive: strangely familiar, yet often alien.
