Description

Jeanie is non verbal, yet her voice is unmistakable. In a rural community where conformity can echo across the cattle yards, she stands defiantly in her uniqueness, comfortable in her own form of expression. Despite societal expectations of voice, she brings creativity, truth and power to the unspoken word. Her eyes, windows to an intricate inner world, communicate with a strength that transcends language. Photographed on medium format film, Pentax 6x7, hand processed C41.
