Walking Houston

Artist: Micah Fields

Project: Houston, Saturated

Description: With a backpack full of disposable cameras, Micah Fields walked over a hundred miles of Houston—his hometown, a city notorious for its “unwalkability”—to capture its vibrant communities and surprising geographical “idiosyncrasies.” The images that make up Houston, Saturated, like Houston itself, are “a bit finicky and unpredictable,” Fields says, “blurred on the edges, varyingly focused, and, above all, saturated with the city’s remarkable multiplicity.” 


Eyes on the South is curated by Jeff Rich. The weekly series features selections of current work from Southern artists, or artists whose photography concerns the South.
