The Heart Land by photographer Mark Borthwick is a beautifully constructed journal of photographs, poetry, drawings and the splatter of paint. The inclusion of these different mediums brings together a free-spirited narrative that alludes to closeness with the ocean, nature and community.
Surreal and dreamy photographs become intimate records of a familiar memory and connection to a greater existence. Accompanied with notes and poems, the text in this book fits in perfectly alongside the elusive imagery. There are also scribbles, tea stains and the haphazard flinging of paint adding another layer of intimacy to this intriguing title.
