“Her portraits, photography, artwork, and text invite us to swim as far as we're comfortable from the shore of the familiar. Here you may discover a land that is the water. Tonal qualities come, like flashes in the dead of night, as if fleetingly nature spoke. What I can suggest is to strongly resist the urge to flip through this book. Slow is the recommendation. Turn each page deliberately and gaze until each image begins to look strange, and then perhaps you will see it for the first time. In that reciprocal gaze, a language of ways, a vocabulary.”

GODFREY REGGIO, director of Koyaanisqatsi of the Qatsi Trilogy; Once Within a Time
