The Cahiers Series continues its exploration of translation in all its aspects with this account by acclaimed novelist Rachel Cusk and her husband artist Siemon Scamell-Katz of themes of arrival, transition, and loss as they represent in their different ways a shared time spent in Greece. The experience of the potency and fragility of landscape leads to an examination of the moral ambiguity of human creativity. Questions about representation, reproduction, gender, the meaning of location, and the role of translation in the maintenance of coherence, arise amid the cross-currents of a sensory experience of place and nature. Rachel Cusk's text is partnered - rather than illustrated - by Siemon Scamell-Katz's paintings which create a visual essay of their own. This dialogue between language and image also represents a search for meaning, by two artists whose shared life nonetheless gives way to the autonomy and solitude of the creative act.
