FROM THE CEO

New Beginnings

MICHAEL PRICE

Welcome to the new art&culture magazine.

Over the past 10 years that we’ve been publishing this magazine, the cultural sector of Palm Beach County has grown immensely. Newly developed arts districts, flourishing cultural organizations, and an influx of both residents and tourists are key factors in the county’s development.

Since its inception, art&culture has evolved into the definitive source for all things cultural in Palm Beach County. And now we’ve started working with the team at Palm Beach Media Group to bring you the next step in advancement for the magazine, which you now hold in your hands.

While this first issue of the redesigned and reimagined art&culture may look different, the mission is still the same as it was when we began more than a decade ago: to bring readers the best of the best in features, photography, and coverage of the arts and cultural scene in Palm Beach County.

We hope you continue to enjoy our magazine for many years to come.

Rena Blades President and CEO Cultural Council of Palm Beach County

“

It is Dutch artists like Vermeer who most influence my work today. His use of light is utterly distinctive and so, so beautiful.”

—Photographer Libby Volgyes

CHRIS LEIDY With an adventurous spirit and a fearless attitude, underwater photographer Chris Leidy (“Into the Deep,” page 32) captures awe-inspiring images, transporting viewers to another world where they can share in his experiences. Drawn to the abstract, he’s a big fan of Greek artist Haris Lithos, who uses “tools” like teddy bears and women’s buttocks to create his unique pop-style prints. The photo essay in this issue highlights images from Leidy’s recent trip to the Arctic.

SUSIE STANTON STAIKOS U.K. native and local writer (and sometimes photographer) Susie Stanton Staikos (“The Collector,” page 40) is the art exhibition development consultant to the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens and former European editor of Art of the Times. One artist she loves is American painter Jack Whitten: “His lyrical abstract works and innovative techniques are captivating.”

SCOTT EYMAN Scott Eyman, whose upcoming book Hank and Jim (Simon & Schuster) tells the story of the friendship between Henry Fonda and James Steward, was books editor of The Palm Beach Post for 25 years. His favorite artists include Matisse, Stendhal, and Kenneth Grahame. And lately? “I really liked the film La La Land,” he says. For this issue, he interviewed authors Jacquelyn Mitchard (“Sleeping in Public Places,” page 58) and Edel Rodriguez (“Storyteller,” page 22).

“

I have learned more about being a parent and a writer from [A Tree Grows in Brooklyn] than from my own experiences.”

—Author Jacquelyn Mitchard

LIBBY VOLGYES

JACQUELYN MITCHARD Best-selling author Jacquelyn Mitchard’s novels have won numerous awards and even been turned into hit films.

Her favorite book of all time, she says, is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn: “It’s a timeless, gorgeously written story about… everything. It’s about love and survival, work and poverty, art and struggle. I have learned more about being a parent and a writer from that story than from my own experiences.” Also a professor in the MFA Writing Program at Vermont College of Fine Arts and editor of the YA imprint Merit Press, Mitchard wrote an exclusive piece of fiction for this issue (“Sleeping in Public Places,” page 58).

Libby Volgyes (“The Art of the Meal,” page 46) is the owner of Libby Vision photography studio in West Palm Beach, where she uses props and a unique styling method to evoke emotion in her food photos. “As a young girl, my favorite paintings were Monet’s Haystacks series,” she says. “They always seemed so sad to me. But it is Dutch artists like Vermeer who most influence my work today. His use of light is utterly distinctive and so, so beautiful.”

JERRY RABINOWITZ

Jerry Rabinowitz (“The Collector,” page 40) is a commercial and fine art photographer specializing in lifestyle, food, and architecture. His beautiful shots of Palm Beach and the Hamptons are featured in two coffee table books published by Rizzoli and Abrams, and his limited-edition book, Created Waters, showcases created wetlands in South Florida. “My favorite piece of art is a photograph of Manhattan’s Flatiron Building by Alfred Stieglitz,” he says. “It evokes an emotional response and continues to push me in my photography.”

All that glitters is not gold but glass at the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s new exhibit, Glasstress, featuring unique installations created by 33 contemporary artists from around the world. Initiated by Italy’s Fondazione Berengo as a way to revitalize the glass industry in Murano, Glasstress challenges artists who don’t typically work in the medium to create pieces alongside the master artisans at Berengo Studio. The results, which speak to important social and global issues facing us today, are gripping. Chinese artist Song Dong delicately manipulates the material to create a beautiful surveillance-camera chandelier, Big Glass Brother. Duo Lucy and Jorge Orta comment on environmental threats with Perpetual Amazonia: Tree of Life. And local artist Carol Prusa unveils Spooky Action, a new sculpture commissioned by the Boca Museum especially for this exhibit.

MUSICAL MASTERY It just might be America’s most beloved Broadway musical, and now it’s coming to Palm Beach. As part of the special Kravis on Broadway series, The Sound of Music—directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien—hits the stage at the Kravis Center’s Dreyfoos Hall in May after touring more than 30 cities. O’Brien breathes new life into the heartwarming tale of the von Trapp family, adding back in some of the musical numbers from the original script that were left out of the hit Julie Andrews film.

ON POINTE For lovers of dance, there’s nothing quite like a show that combines traditional ballet and a classic story of enchantment—with music by one of the greats.

Ballet Palm Beach delivers with Sleeping Beauty & Other Works at the Eissey Campus Theatre at Palm Beach State College. Artistic Director Colleen Smith has masterminded a one-act version of the beloved fairy tale, underscored by Tchaikovsky. The performance is followed by two shorter Smith creations—Simple Symphony, set to Benjamin Britten’s work of the same name, and Because I Said So, a whimsical take on well-known “mom warnings” set to jazz by French musician Claude Bolling.

SHAKESPEARE BY THE SEA Always a highlight of summer, this year the Palm Beach Shakespeare Festival presents Love’s Labour’s Lost at the Seabreeze Amphitheater in Jupiter’s Carlin Park. One of the bard’s earliest plays, the plot revolves around a king and three of his male companions who promise to give up romance for three years—and comically fail. Director Trent Stephens has set the story on the island of Capri, giving the production a Mediterranean flair well suited to its South Florida audience.

STORYTELLER

GLENN GLASSER

Edel Rodriguez

DON’T MISS Words have character in their shapes as well as in their literal meaning. Mark My Words, which runs at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County through May 27, showcases the work of 15 artists who use words and letters as subject matter and inspiration (palmbeachculture.com). April Is for Authors hosts 24 amazing writers April 29 at Palm Beach Gardens High School. The free event is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (aprilisforauthors.org).

Everybody has a story, but Edel Rodriguez’s life is a novel. At the age of 9, he and his family came to America from their native Cuba in the Mariel boatlift. They settled in Hialeah, where his mother was a seamstress and his father worked odd jobs.

Today, he is a successful illustrator with multiple Time magazine covers to his credit, as well as a fine artist and a children’s book author.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is known as the American dream.

This spring, as Rodriguez speaks to local students as part of the April Is for Authors series, he also showcases some of his art at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County North Gallery (through April 15).

His emphasis is on possibilities—art is only one of perhaps thousands. His discussions touch on his art as well as his life, and how the one defined the other.

As he explains it, his own path was set early. “Ever since I was a kid, I was drawing,” he says. “Every year, I would get awards at school for my art, so my parents knew. Their message to me was, ‘Study hard so you don’t have to do the stuff we have to do.’” He followed their advice (and his talents) and ended up at Pratt Institute in New York.

Rodriguez’s work is steeped in the traditions of Cuban art, of the tropically colorful mixed with vivid iconography. It’s art as propaganda, and vice versa.

His central message is that combining life and art mandates talent and passion mediated by a sense of balance—as with negotiating the difference between commissioned work and personal expression.

“You might write an article and also poems, and you like them both,” he says. “It’s not that one is superior to another. If I’m doing an illustration for a magazine, [it] is published quickly, and I see my work affect people. It’s immediate. But with fine art, it can take decades to have an impact.”

Whatever his medium, “the immigrant experience has affected everything my life is about,” Rodriguez says. “Where I come from, how I got here.... The best thing being an immigrant did for me was having parents who made sure I knew I was here for a reason. ‘We didn’t leave Cuba behind for nothing,’ they would tell me. ‘You have to take advantage of this country.’ There has to be a purpose to life.” ‡ See some of his work at palmbeachculture.com/magazine

There’s beauty in the unpredictable, and even in the dangerous.

Photographer Chris Leidy found it.

BY MICHELLE LEE RIBEIRO “I’m so claustrophobic, you don’t understand.” This coming from a man who spent three weeks last summer diving through holes in the Arctic ice wearing a 50-pound lead vest, sinking into the deep blue sea under a frozen 8-footthick ceiling.

For Chris Leidy, facing that fear was necessary to capture the images milling around in his mind’s eye. And really, it wasn’t hard for him to overcome. “Down there, you’re in the zone, so you lose any kind of fear or thoughts of being trapped,” he says. “It’s so spiritual—everywhere you look, you’ve never seen anything like it before. The air bubbles start to look like mercury; it’s trippy. I was like a sponge soaking it all up.”

ICE VEIN “This is a shot taken topside of a weather-made crack in a 35,000-year-old iceberg.”

For the past 10 years, Leidy’s wanderlust has taken him to exotic locales like French Polynesia, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea, where he captures underwater images so beautiful in their abstraction you sometimes forget how very real it all is. This isn’t a bunch of post-production magic. Leidy, as he describes his process, edits in camera: “I see something I want to shoot and visualize how I want it to appear, setting my camera—white balance, exposure— so the end result looks like what I’m seeing. There’s expression in all types of art, but my thought is, what I see when I take the shot... That should be the image.”

Shooting in 20-degree water was a major departure for the Palm Beach native, who is represented by New York’s esteemed Marlborough Gallery. He traded his wet suit for a uniform that consisted of two pairs of long johns, two pairs of wool socks, a long-sleeved tee, a down onesie,

down boots, and a dry suit. Every morning, he and his Inuit guides would head out of their yurt, hop on a dog sled or snow mobile, and zoom out to an ice-locked berg. They’d drill a hole, and Leidy would shimmy down and let nature dictate the outcome.

“There’s a current pulling you, it’s dark, and the elements are so intense,” he says. “Some guy you just met is holding this rope attached to you. He’s your lifeline. You hear cracking and the ice moaning. It’s wild, man…. But I just went out there. I had a vision of my photos and was going to take whatever came at me, as it came.” marlboroughgallery.com ‡ More with Leidy at palmbeachculture.com/magazine

Blue Berg “I love composing an image with just a section of what is standing in front of me. It messes up the brain of the viewers. This was a towering iceberg that was locked in by the floe ice and stood about 75 to 100 feet high.

We would bust off large chunks of the iceberg and melt it down for drinking water.”

e flock to see outstanding museum art

collections and must-see exhibitions,

but nothing compares to viewing the best

of the best in a living room of a magnificent apartment with high ceilings; elegant, classical architectural features; and a bright, comfortable atmosphere. In such an environment, each piece of art becomes an individual character inhabiting the space, and the experience is breathtaking.

So it is at the Palm Beach home of Ronnie Heyman.

Over 40 years, Ronnie and her late husband, Samuel, built a collection of supreme quality, covering the postwar era and the pantheon of contemporary artists from both sides of the Atlantic, with the occasional look back at artists who influenced those who followed.

The Heymans were a team. Samuel took on the more scholarly aspects, researching each new piece they had their eye on, while Ronnie took charge of the display of the works they acquired. “We were a good combo,” Ronnie says. “It was the focus of our life, a pastime we could pursue together.”

After marrying in 1970 and establishing their first home in Connecticut, the Heymans soon hankered for paintings to fill the empty walls. Ronnie’s father directed them to Harold Diamond, a New York dealer, who in-

troduced the couple to works by Willem de Kooning and Color Field painters Kenneth Noland and Helen Frankenthaler. A Frankenthaler painting was their first purchase in 1970, a forerunner to the other premier Color Field works that would become part of their collection in later years.

“We got the bug,” Ronnie says. “At the time, SoHo was coming up, and our weekends were spent exploring galleries and looking at a range of works including the incomparable Cindy Sherman, whom we subsequently collected.” A grouping of Sherman’s early black and white Untitled Film Stills is displayed in Ronnie’s Palm Beach home.

The 1990s saw a resetting of their collection. “It was a watershed for us,” says Ronnie. “We were now able to collect museum-quality paintings.”

The game changer, she says, was a must-have early Roy Lichtenstein: Engagement Ring. This seminal work, created in 1961 at the height of the Pop Art movement, greets guests in the entrance hall of her home. The importance of its placement speaks volumes about its importance to its owner. An early work by Alex Katz, Thursday Night I (1974); a de Kooning, Untitled XII (1982); and a discreet Jackson Pollack, Number 13 (1949) create a stunning prelude to the living room, where a Donald Judd, a Sam Francis, and a Joan Mitchell immediately catch the eye.

Ronnie recalls the hunt for a Rothko. It took some time before she saw one that spoke to her.

In due course, Reds, painted in 1956, became available and now hangs between two extraordinary and powerful paintings by Francis Bacon, Crouching Nude (1961) and Self Portrait (1978).

Behind the grand piano hangs the large Robert Rauschenberg, Press (1964), with its characteristic silkscreen newspaper cuttings and photographic images transferred to the canvas. This is shortly to be loaned to MoMA’s major Rauschenberg retrospective, opening May 21. “I’ll only loan to MoMA,” she says, pointing out that she owes much of her art education to the late William Rubin, director of MoMA’s painting and sculpture department in the 1970s and ’80s. After his retirement, he became Ronnie’s art adviser. “I had Bill all to myself,” she says proudly.

A 1918 Léger painting opened a new window and motivated the Heymans to take a serious look at artists like Giacometti, who became a firm favorite with Samuel. In the Heyman home, the artist’s Walking Man I (1960) stands tall in mid-stride, making his unmistakable presence felt with characteristic elongated, pinched form. In contrast is Land, Sea and Air (1982), a grouping of three life-size figures

by British contemporary artist Antony Gormley.

opportunities, or regrets, along the way, Ronnie recalls: “Giacometti’s Pointing Man was the one that got away. Sam always regretted it.”

The Heymans became well known as collectors and, in time, were getting calls from galleries offering works that came onto the market.

Samuel would rush over to his library of art books and catalogs to look up each piece and decide whether to buy. On one occasion, he took an overnight flight for a one-day visit to a bank vault in Japan to purchase a large Pollack, which now hangs in Ronnie’s Manhattan apartment, where a great part of the collection resides. “Each apartment has a different mood,” says Ronnie. “The one in New York has darker tones suitable for the city. The two Bacons in New York are dark and fit better up there then they would in Florida.”

Ronnie and Samuel came to Florida in 1978 and moved to one of Palm Beach’s historic buildings in 1981. Ronnie’s attachment to the town has brought her close to the Norton Museum of Art, where she is a trustee who has contributed generously to the current renovation. Says Ronnie of the new Norton: “[Executive Director] Hope Alswang is an intrepid leader, and her choice of British architect Lord [Norman] Foster was a stroke of brilliance.”

Ronnie is affiliated with many other arts institutions, including The Israel Museum, Jerusalem and, of course, the MoMA, where

she sits on its board of trustees and is chair of the painting and sculpture committee. “MoMA is the gold standard,” she says with conviction.

Ronnie embraces the future of art, receptive to whatever comes her way—even the more contemporary art one of her daughters collects.

“Fashions change, and I am learning the names of those artists,” she says.

But she misses the bygone days of “trekking through galleries.” She recalls nostalgically exploring, sitting down with artists, and discovering new works. “The coming of the art fairs [like Art Basel Miami] was radical,” she says. “They’re frantic buying bazaars. New buyers don’t seem to have the same approach as we did.”

And, with a slight note of disapproval, she adds: “Tastes too have changed. Too much glitz.” ‡ View more of the Heyman collection at palmbeachculture.com/magazine

From there, I incorporated every color in the painting through the dots to contrast the rectangular shaping of the painting, using vegetable coloring and sour cream to achieve the perfect tones.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT NELSON

The “ancient” art of handwritten letters is all but extinct. Elegantly scripted epistles have waned in popularity as text messages now reign supreme. In an era of ephemeral communication, simple tangible correspondence is a rare thing of beauty.

From April 18 to July 2, the Norton Museum of Art explores the intimacy and artistry of letter writing in Pen to Paper: Artists’ Handwritten Letters from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art. Letters and postcards from the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe, Marcel Duchamp, and Mary Cassatt invite viewers to become voyeurs into the lives of these artists through their personal correspondence.

“You put so much of your soul into handwritten letters,” says Rachel Gustafson, who spearheaded the exhibit at the Norton. “To see these artists having very casual conversations—and feelings of regret, sadness, happiness, or elation—is so interesting because it humanizes them in a way.”

Inspired by this exhibition, we asked five area arts influencers to put pen to paper and write their own sort of “love letter to Palm Beach County,” expressing how the community has succeeded in fostering a vibrant cultural scene that has allowed their organizations to thrive. —Mary Murray

PALM BEACH BOOK FESTIVAL THE LITERARY ARTS OFTEN DON’T GET THE ATTENTION THEY DESERVE. BUT THANKS TO LOIS CAHALL, PALM BEACH BIBLIOPHILES CAN CELEBRATE THE ART AMONG MASTERS OF THE CRAFT AT THE PALM BEACH BOOK FESTIVAL. CAHALL FOUNDED THE FESTIVAL IN 2015 AND, WITH SUPPORT FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR (AND PALM BEACH RESIDENT) JAMES PATTERSON, IT WAS AN INSTANT SUCCESS. WORLD-RENOWNED NAMES—INCLUDING CELEBRITY MEMOIRISTS LIKE ALAN CUMMING, BURT REYNOLDS, AND MOLLY RINGWALD—GATHER FOR A WEEKEND OF PANEL DISCUSSIONS, MEET AND GREETS, AND BOOK SIGNINGS TO EDUCATE AND TO APPRECIATE THE ART OF WRITING. THE 2017 FESTIVAL FOCUSES ON NONFICTION, WITH A PANEL THEMED “BIOGRAPHY VS. MEMOIR”; A CONVERSATION WITH THE GREAT SEBASTIAN JUNGER; RECOGNITION OF ACTOR ROBERT WAGNER FOR WRITING THE “HOLLYWOOD MEMOIR OF THE YEAR”; AND A DOZEN OR SO MORE AUTHORS BOOK LOVERS WON’T WANT TO MISS. —MICHELLE LEE RIBEIRO APRIL 21–22, PALM BEACH ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY AND THE HARRIET HIMMEL THEATER, WEST PALM BEACH, PALMBEACHBOOKFESTIVAL.COM, 561.429.4008. TICKETS $20–$25 PER PANEL OR $90–$100 FOR A FULL-DAY PASS

like a Mercedes, when a 2005 Volvo was its own best camo. She reclines the seat and tucks the throw around her shoulders, around her neck. Her arms are as stiff as the skin of a frog. There.

“This cradle kept your grandmother safe,” Jeremy said. “What’s good for big Rebecca’s good for little Rebecca.” She hasn’t burned it. She can always burn it. There has never, she wants to tell Jeremy, been a single verified case of sudden infant death syndrome when the baby was sleeping in the parents’ bed. Of course, fat, senseless felonious drunks rolled on their infants and crushed the life from them. She knew they did. They did it on purpose, because she didn’t believe they could not notice, for how could they not notice? In the hospital, seven-pound Rebecca had thrashed like a weasel when, spent, she had fallen asleep and chanced to lean on her unaccustomed newborn bundle, just five hours outside her own body. At home, in their big bed, Jeremy liked to lounge. Jeremy basked. He was a scholar of sleep, a sultan of snore. He didn’t want to wake little Rebecca. She hates him devoutly.

Next month, she thinks, as her face shoulders neck chest heart relax, she will take the plunge she’s been meaning to take all along. She’ll pack a tiny bag and rent one of those pods at the airport, those brutally clean pinned-sheet napkin-wrapped pods. They were made for her kind, for sleeping in public places. She sometimes casts yearning looks at the troll houses of bank kiosks— how warm and public they would be. But dirty. Dangerously dirty. When the weather is warm, she’ll park up in the lot of the ski lodge. Ah, wilderness. She can imagine waking to the sun basting the ridge, another night burned.

At Jeremy’s Christmas party, she overheard a woman sleekly say, “They were acre couches.

They were Rhode Island–sized couches. They were deep as the Mariana Trench. And I just stuck my purse under my butt and kicked off my shoes and snuggled up on top of my ratty old fur coat and I was out! Out!” The woman turned, flinching from her eyes, more startled than the owl.

Even in memory, the devouring maw of her attention abashes her. It must have risen up like a stink. She had studied the woman. Her bob, her sneer, her fishnets and coral pout. Was she another like her?

No, she thinks. She’s fine now. Here now. The night is colder. Cold might rouse her early, but she will get some good hours. Down she slides into surrender. There is no other. Of her, she is the only one. ‡

Mitchard’s eleventh adult novel, Two If by Sea, was published in March 2016 by Simon & Schuster.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

One of the things you should know about Jacquelyn Mitchard is that she named her first-born daughter Francie Nolan Brent. “Francie Nolan” derived from Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn—the hopeful little girl stuck between her well-meaning but alcoholic

father and her strong but overmatched mother. It’s Mitchard’s favorite book.

The underlying theme of Smith’s great novel is one that Mitchard has taken as her own. “My books are about finding grace in adversity,” she says. “Everyone in my books is a good person who gets in a jam, a big jam.

The stories are about restoring some kind of equilibrium to our life. That’s what we all do every day. Every day has its sufficiency, a bunch of things that you have to face and either correct or live

with, and one is as difficult as the other.”

Mitchard’s 11 adult novels (she also writes children’s books and young adult novels) began two decades ago with The Deep End of the Ocean. The debut novel was chosen as the very first selection of Oprah’s Book Club in 1996, became an international best seller, and was adapted into a hit movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer. She is also a stirring speaker and ambassador for reading, as she proved when she was a guest of the Palm Beach

Book Festival last spring.

Amid a stream of books, the Cape Cod resident has also found the time to raise nine children, teach creative writing at Vermont College of Fine Arts—and pen this powerful short story exclusively for art&culture.

“Fiction is a lot of things,” she says. “One of them is the attempt to do on the page what you can’t do with life: correct it. Betty Smith once said, ‘It’s not the way it happened, but it’s the way it should have happened.’ I go along with that.” —Scott Eyman

Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark open to the public as the Flagler Museum featuring docent-led tours, selfguide brochures, audio tours, and the Flagler App.

BITES FARMHOUSE CHIC AARON’S TABLE AND WINE BAR Jupiter resident Chef Aaron Fuller has created a sleek yet comfortable space in Abacoa’s Town Center. “We wanted to build a restaurant that neighborhood people could walk to and give them a range of wines to discover,” he says. Unlike most wine bars, Aaron’s Table has a full kitchen with an elaborate New American menu of starters, entrées, and desserts. When completed, the cellar will hold 400 selections, offered by the glass and bottle, and a dedicated sommelier will guide guests through their choices.

THE REGIONAL KITCHEN & PUBLIC HOUSE Few trends are hotter than upscale Southern cuisine, and no local chef does it better than Lindsay Autry. The native North Carolinian and Top Chef finalist has brought her blend of elegance and down-home cooking to CityPlace in West Palm Beach. Don’t miss the pickled shrimp, deviled crab, country-style sausage—and certainly not the chef’s trademark snapper grilled in a banana leaf with green tomato salsa verde. “We spend a lot of time sourcing ingredients, getting to know the farmers, artisans, and purveyors and sharing those relationships with our staff,” says Autry.

RAPPY’S Ask most transplanted New Yorkers what they miss most about the Big Apple and you’ll get the inevitable response: a good deli. Veteran South Florida restaurateur Burt Rapoport has come to the rescue with Rappy’s, which opened in December in Boca Raton’s Park Place plaza. The deli is named for Rapoport’s father, Ray (nickname “Rappy”), who, along with his grandfather, operated a kosher eatery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side for half a century. The menu at Rappy’s offers a large assortment of smoked fish, sandwiches, and noshes, and the pastrami is classic: first brined, then slow-smoked over hard wood, and finally steamed to perfection before being sliced onto rye bread. 5560 N.

OASIS

SALLY GALL

In her own words, New York–based photographer Sally Gall tries to capture the beauty and mystery of nature, “its elemental and sometimes terrifying aspects, its silence, its persistence.” Part of her Subterranea series, Oasis (1999) explores the hidden landscape of caves and what Gall refers to as the “twilight zone” between daylight and darkness.
