Seven Rivers Monograph

The first publication of American photographer, Ansley West Rivers, focuses on her Seven Rivers series. In 2013, West Rivers gave herself an assignment to photograph seven North American rivers—the Colorado, Missouri/Mississippi, Columbia, Rio Grande, Tuolumne, Altamaha, and Hudson—from source to sea, as they represent watersheds for major metropolitan regions and cities throughout the United States. Over the past six years, West Rivers has developed an important American document that narrates an evolving relationship between the built and natural environment in the 21st century.
