During the past thirty-five years, Ted Hendrickson’s photographs have explored the nature of landscape as image. Ranging from the man-made scene of the built environment to the wooded and coastal landscape that comprises what is left of “Nature” in Southern New England, Hendrickson’s laconic personal views can be simultaneously poetic, comic, tragic or mysterious. His work records layers of geologic and human history in a concise, straightforward style. Babson’s Boulder, Kindness, Gloucester, MA. (2017) is one of a series of “portraits” of glacial erratic boulders left behind by the melting edge of the Wisconsin Ice Sheet some 18,000 years ago.

He received a commission from the Connecticut Commission on the Arts to photograph the towns of New London County for permanent exhibition at the New London County Court House.
