Poolscapes brings together two connected bodies of work-"The Pool" (2002-05) and "Poolscapes" (2009-12)-focused on the motif of the swimming pool and realized over the course of ten years. Presenting public pools in urban and natural environments throughout Europe and private pools in the US in two distinct sections, the book is arranged chronologically and shows an evolution in tone and depth, from the real to the imagined, from the photographic to the painterly. Poolscapes opens with the "The Pool" series which invites us into a sun-bleached public pool at midday, evocative of playful, mundane childhood memories and the universal experience of leisure and bathing.
