Greensburg, Pennsylvania Aug 10, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - Radial Reform: Artistic Impressions of Eastern State Penitentiary (Nieusma, 2021) is a feast for the eyes and soul. What began as one photographer’s journey to capture the unexpected beauty contained within the crumbling walls of Philadelphia’s historic Eastern State Penitentiary, has become the inspiration for the included works of many writers and poets.
This book is an exercise in compassion; both for ourselves as well as others. The hope is that it will continue to inspire heartfelt thought and reflection. It can be so difficult to imagine what life is like for another person living in circumstances so different from our own or even to imagine ourselves living in a way that is different. To do so requires intent and practice and the author’s hope is that this provides a platform for the creative exercise of compassion and insight.
Every reader has the opportunity to view the photos and writings and then contribute their own thoughts for inclusion in future printings by visiting the Tiffani Photography Website. This is intended to be a “living work” so anyone who feels moved to do so may submit work to be included in future editions. The author is delighted to include contributors from a variety of skill levels, ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, and perspectives. The aim is the diversity of thought. The author thrives on the idea of people letting themselves out of their own self-limiting prisons. Every person has valuable feelings and thoughts worthy of sharing and she hopes they will accept this invitation to set your mind free. Books may be purchased internationally on Amazon now or in person at the Main Exhibit Gallery.
The first-edition signed and numbered photos and written works will be on display in the show of the same name at Main Exhibit Gallery in Ligonier, PA from Sept. 1, 2021, through Oct. 3, 2021. A show opening and book signing event will be held on Sept. 3, 2021, from 6 to 8 pm. The author and many contributors will be in attendance for signatures and questions and there will be refreshments, live music, and some fun “selfie” opportunities will be provided free of charge. Come dressed in prison duds and get a free gift.
