The book is composed predominantly of cinematic framing from medium-format photographs, contrasted with video stills, and contextualized by a trifold essay. Buchman's images respond to the specificity of her childhood home, wrapt in Southern Californian light, time bent backward through a roving lens, and notations on the texture of the landscape: agricultural land tilled into plateaus for \"master-planned communities,\" the fading scent of eucalyptus enveloped by commercial real estate, the bough of a 38-year-old navel citrus tree. Her work reflects on a poetics of suburbia, articulated through the contradictions of Orange County's historic reputation as a conservative stronghold with racist underpinnings. From this ground, Buchman asserts that the suburbs are more complex than a litany of franchised strip malls; rather, they are a place where the marginalized find their voice. In the absence of her cultural heritage, she turns to her familial backyard as a type of refuge from the world outside and the inscrutability of her biological family tree. Instead, the dirt becomes a map, home becomes circular, transformed into something boundless. Her photographs replace groundlessness with the feeling of light and the smell of young citrus leaves — subtle gestures that reflect on the affect that exists beyond language.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Seaton Street Press\u003cbr\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e10 x 6.5 in.\u003cbr\u003e52 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seaton Street Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555800551481,"sku":"210000004348","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/1-earth-sky-plant-ground-lbuchman-seatonstpress-20.png?v=1790280495","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/lindsay-buchman-earth-sky-plant-ground","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
