The Olive Orchard - Artist Book

This deeply personal artist book uses simple collages to weave together photographs, photograms and paintings, all made at a farm in Sicily. It is a place that I have returned to four times over a 20-year period; each time at a very different stage in my life and relationships. The ancient olive orchard there has become a touchstone for me, a place that puts my own story into perspective in a landscape that hums with deep time. Although my visits have been reoccurring and gradual, this book was made as an impulsive gesture. It is a playful and sometimes chaotic way to give visual form to my own reckoning with time, love, motherhood and the ways we are tethered to one another.
