“I drove down to O’Donnell’s in the late afternoon. It was very beautiful; white houses in the afterglow; wind squalls flashing across the bay; ice making in the coves and forming on the wharves and piling. Except for the electric lights it could have been a hundred years ago. If we are only special bits of energy, accidents of radiation, created in no one’s image and for no real end, then our sense of joy and satisfaction in all things beautiful is our finest trait, and its celebration the most worthy thing we do.” (Christopher Pratt, Diary, December 25, 1980)

9/10 clapboard and 1/10 sea, the sense of repose in WALL FACING WEST is in part achieved by a perfect balance of horizontal and vertical, shallow and open space. Anyone who has spent time in Newfoundland can testify to Pratt’s ability to capture the light and mystique unique to that Canadian province. (David Phillips, Seneca Polytechnic)
