Publisher's Synopsis
A visually stunning collection of Sheilagh OLearys black and white nude photography. Nude photography is a uniquely intimate art form: stripped of clothing and pretense, the model shows the viewer, This is who I am. Through her camera lens, OLeary explores the beauty of the human body, while illustrating the vibrancy of the human spirit. For OLeary, geography is an essential element of identity. The stark, raw landscape of Newfoundland is more than a backdrop. Her images capture a profound relationship with rock, earth, and water. The islands distinctive culture is revealed through her suggestive work. Her work is introduced by award-winning author Lisa Moore.
