Description


Birie Almquist’s platinum/palladium photograph depicting a countryside gathering of sheep could easily be mistaken for a photograph made a hundred years prior. Almquist’s picture emphasizes the persistent roles of the landscape and animals in rural life despite the rapid changes to the agricultural sector over the last century.
