Volcano Songs

Published by Guest Editions

"What are Volcano Songs? A kind of restless hunger, a flowing, a body joining with other bodies, assembling and reassembling. Intimacy and expanse in equal measure, upheaval and hope.

The photographs and words in Volcano Songs were created on and around the volcano Vesuvius and on Alicudi and Pantelleria, volcanic islands scattered to Italy’s south.

Volcanos are more than one thing. They are both stillness and movement. They have an individuality and a strength yet they arise and fall, they are always in process.

Pressure points, radical upheavals, giving way to destruction and creation, they are a paradox unsolvable and real. Volcanos are apertures, where one world’s truth spills into another.

There is beauty in their irreducibility. They cannot be tamed.

Volcanos exist despite us, completely beyond the human realm - they remind us the that this planet is not ours, but that we belong to the earth.
