Gail is one of ten women featured in "Maine Women--Living on the Land" a Photographic Installation by Lauren Shaw. This exhibit, which opened at the Farnsworth Museum in Rockport, Maine, and is now traveling throughout the United States, celebrates the lives and environments of ten Maine women who have lived most of their lives in close harmony with the land. Collectively, the women embrace a wide cultural, generational and geographic range, but all share a strong tradition of stewardship, hard work and community. Their stories are told through Ms.Shaw's photography including still portraits, landscapes, phototmontages and an interactive DVD. An essay by Lucy Lippard, author of Lure of the Local, accompanies the show. To view some of the photos, learn more about Lauren's work or to order the book or DVD that accompanies this show, visit Lauren Shaw's website at:
