Leaves of Absence

By Dana MacFarlane PhD and Ruth Thomas

In this unique collaboration, Dana MacFarlane and Ruth Thomas use photographs and text to explore the moments of intensity and equivocation that define a relationship. Objects left behind or fallen on pavements in Edinburgh and sidewalks in New York evoke a shifting record of worlds. They figure against an elusive tale told through fragments of dialogue. The book resists any conventions that assume one medium illustrating the other - the elements of the book insert a radical questioning of perspective and emotional affect.
