CROSSING

Crossing, takes us on a meditative journey through poetry and photography, exploring the islands of the coast of Maine in Penobscot Bay. Through her delicate vignettes, Taylor Kydd explores how the history of these islands lives on in the land and in the remnants of what we leave behind, noting how our sense of what has gone before, is intensified and palpable in these isolated settings.
