About
This Earthen Door is a cross-disciplinary inquiry exploring renowned poet Emily Dickinson’s deep connection to the natural world. In brilliant, non-synthetic plant color, this book follows the chronology of Emily Dickinson's original 66-page herbarium—a book of pressed plants made as a teenager.
A collaboration between artists Amanda Marchand and Leah Sobsey, the photographs are each made from the pigments of plants the artists grew in their gardens, re-imaging the poet's herbarium in the language of our time. An inner booklet includes a piece of handmade, wildflower-seed paper as a plantable Dickinson poem.
