Impositions, Christopher Michael Mccauley
Impositions, Christopher Michael Mccauley
ETDs from 2020-2029
This collection explores ordinary moments. A couple on a park bench. A man cleaning a horse stall. A citizen scientist wandering a field. When you peer into these scenes closely, though, you can move beyond the seemingly mundane and discover universal truths, as well as images that evoke shared emotional landscapes.

Hence the title, Impositions. I hope readers will feel a sense of empathy for the …
