Pia-Paulina Guilmoth's pictures begin with patient acts of co-creation. She stages delicate sculptures from spider silk, flowers and other natural materials, then waits as land and water, wind, light or a stray moth interact with them in unpredictable ways. Sometimes the making takes the form of building trust with animals, carefully, over many nights. Each silver print is made by hand by the artist, and the cover reproduces a sheet of aged pink craft paper found in an abandoned house down the road from her home.
