“I felt like I was circling around someone else’s wondrous, magical dream, viewing from the outside a series of well-shaped, interlocking private worlds where intruders are neither welcomed nor barred.” –Allen Wheatcroft

Wheatcroft says, "The images in Björkevägen reflect a tension I feel in the real and imagined space between belonging and being an outsider, between trying to enter a place and finding it, or myself, recalcitrant, seeing a world apart even as I approach it."

The photographs resonate with a sense of solitude and an introspective quietness. There is a peaceful sensibility inherent within them mixed with a sense of the distance and separation that accompanies any act of observation. Viewers will immerse themselves in these images, and by extension, in the typical aesthetics of this place, bringing their own narrative interpretations and emotional connections or curiosity. In presenting a collection of photographs that are of his own personal experience of Sörmland, then editing and sequencing them as a journey along Birch Road, Wheatcroft shares a literal as well as "imagined excursion through Sörmland."
