"Pia-Paulina Guilmoth's Flowers Drink the River reveals a dreamscape where mud, earth and stone envelop, and the forest floors are wet with glowing dew. Using a large format camera and careful analogue techniques, Pia finds an entrancing, mystical presence in her daily experiences amidst the forests, fields, and rivers of her home. Pia's hazy images, filled with light aberrations and glowing spectres, leave us suspended mid-ritual. Flowers Drink the River spans the first two years of Pia's gender transition, as she photographs her small community in rural Maine, and the beauty and terror of living as a trans woman in a small right-wing town." -- Publisher's website
