Synopsis

Changing Woman, Changing Man: A High Desert Myth.


A prose-poem by Kristin Berger, with 11 linocut prints by Diane Sandall


This poem moves to the rhythms of the High Desert - its fragile days and its unbroken centuries. Through this landscape, Berger follows Changing Man and Changing Woman, the tangled cords of our human nature. In alternating sections with brilliantly contrasting voices, Man and Woman reveal memories, fears, and the deeper connections lying beneath the surface of their contradictions. Read Changing Woman & Changing Man. It will leave you changed."


- Pepper Trail, author of Flight Time and Cascade-Siskiyou: Poems

Raised in New England, Diane Sandall heeded the siren song of the Northwest, making her way out to Oregon. After a time, she looked to her heritage, and a six-month stay in Sweden began a compelling relationship with her second home, infusing her work with the wind and the savor of that beautiful land. Sense of place anchors her art; the rain and the cool colors of the Pacific Northwest and the depth of history and myth in Scandinavia feed the storyteller in her. While she has practiced many tactile arts-knitting, carving, ceramics, blacksmithing among them-she returns to drawing as a way to connect people and the natural world to timeless narratives.
