{"product_id":"soil-air-reverence","title":"Soil, Air, Reverence","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThrough a series of short, poem-like notes, Colin Martinez constructs a narrative spanning half a decade of cross-country travel. Rather than pulling the reader into sweeping landscapes, Martinez focuses on the idiosyncratic and often overlooked details of the land and its people. The soft, black-and-white images in this volume capture small, understated vignettes – moments of quiet observation that, when connected, reveal an aching specificity to the places they depict. In the book’s opening note, Martinez writes: \"All around the country, hidden in bathrooms, on trees and under tables, trapped in cars and in basements, blossoming on corners and in motel rooms, life bubbles and protrudes. \/ Born in a sinister land, on ground that, not unlike its desperate vegetative creation, dries and splits and cracks. \/ Born of a love that scratches itself to the surface – one that seeps out of tight containers and into brain and veins and hearts. —\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eText by Ilaria Sponda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e7.5 x 9\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003eOffset printed on 120 GSM uncoated paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColin Martinez\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Pilsen)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColin Martinez is a visual artist and landscape architect based in Chicago, IL.
