For decades, photographer Kate Sterlin has made an artistic practice of examining the boundaries between individual, family, and community. In her first book, Still Life: Photographs & Love Stories, she delivers a meditation on love and its ability to weather the brutal specificities of life, death, family and race in America. Pairing intimate photographs with poetic, lyrical writings, Still Life is a hypnagogic narrative that unfolds in a series of overlapping episodes and identities, a testament to one artist’s commitment to creation and a dreamlike blend of the personal and the universal.
