On a map of the southeastern United States, the Ogeechee River cuts a diagonal path through eastern Georgia before turning south of the city of Savannah and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. It is known locally as the Blackwater River for its slow-moving waters that are like black glass , reflecting the sky and flora above and masking the tangle of life forces below.
In November 2017, Robbie Lawrence, accompanied by writer Sala Patterson, traveled to the Low Country, the coastal region that straddles Georgia and South Carolina, near where the Ogeechee River meets the ocean, with the goal of documenting the nuances of issues that drive news cycles and political divisions. through the lens of a place in America.
Blackwater River captures, in image and spirit, Lawrence's time in the Low Country: a series of profound encounters and abstract reflections, some inspiring, some harsh, but all indelible. Each moment is individually significant while collectively hinting at larger, more elusive truths.
