From Drum Machine Editions:
Kathleen Saunders (Charleston, SC) is a photographer who frequently returns to Florida’s natural springs. Her work engages both the environmental precarity and history of kitschy tourism surrounding the state’s once-pristine aquifers. She has interviewed local historians and retired mermaids and pored over dense water quality studies. In her riso-printed photobook, Sinkholes of Florida, Saunders distills this body of work into a deadpan collection of found images which oscillate between humor and dread.
First printing 19 December 2020. Limited edition of 100. Riso-printed in black and bright red ink on FPC Madero Beach (70#T).
