A passing song

Image not available

Description
"A Passing Song is a book of photographs and poems featuring the work of Sal Taylor Kydd and Dawn Surratt. During 2020 - 2021, Sal and Dawn embarked on a collaborative project entitled Touchstones. Touchstones was a visual conversation between the two artists that took place online, as week to week they exchanged photographs and wrote poems, creating diptychs that explored connections between the work. The artists would meet each week, on Zoom, which was a lifeline during those difficult times that forged a growing friendship and ongoing artistic collaboration. This project explored themes of connection, isolation and loss, as well as adaptability and creativity as the world was challenged with the life threatening pandemic. Both artists live on the East coast, separated by two thousand miles in physical terms, but less than a minute in the virtual sense. Through this series of photographic diptychs and poems, the work evolved as a call and response, as they each responded to the other's work, pairing photographs and writing, building on the foundation of trust and understanding that continues to grow between the two artists."--Saltaylorkydd.com

    John Muir letter to Katharine Putnam Hooker

    Manuscripts

    In this letter to his friend Katherine Hooker, John Muir responds to the news that she is sick in bed with some surprise as she seems so strong to him. He suggests rest and then "plain pure white love-work" with Marian (Dr, Marian Osgood Hooker) tending to their fellow creatures. Muir is glad that Marian is not with him as yellow fever and malaria are rampant. Muir briefly describes life on the river with him staring and sketching. Muir described a week of beauty and fellowship at Manaos on the Rio Negro tributary. He ends the letter with a surprise find of a copy of Katherine's book, Wayfarers in Italy in a lonely house in the Amazon Basin. He fears telling the story in full as Marian might think he's in a fever dream.
