Lake Pictures is a series of photographs of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes bordering the state of Michigan. The pictures - taken at the same place, during the four seasons, and at different times of day and night - explore the changing atmospheric nature of the lake through the prisms of water, sky, color, light, place, space and time. Looking at this immense body of water and the sky above, both initially seem boundless, as if stretching forever into the distance. Only the fine horizon line between the two separates and joins them, pulling us into each photo and reminding us that this sense of infinity is but an intriguing optical fiction.
More than a lake: the lake, the sea. Devlin's pictures show everything, from a honey-yellow pool to a raging sea; we see the grayish-brown abyss, the opaque, rippling navy blue, a melancholy carpet ... and the slate-like idleness. All this is a result of her morning, midday, evening and nighttime visits to the shoreline. It looks as though the photographer has consulted the Great Lake like an oracle. Ulf Erdmann Ziegler

Lake Project is a series of color photographs of Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes bordering the state of Michigan, by American photographer Lucinda Devlin (born 1947). The pictures--taken from the same vantage point, during different seasons and at different times of day or night--explore the changing character and nature of the lake, in the interplay of day and season, wind, sun and moonlight upon the reflections on the water's surface and the variously colored glows of the atmosphere above. Precisely bisecting Devlin's square images, the thin line of the horizon suggests the immensity of the space between these two elements, pulling the viewer into the center of the photographs where they converge.
