Maybe it’s because we have so little water (and humidity) here in New Mexico, but this book by Lisa Onstad, with it’s cool wet blues caught my eye recently. It’s called Submerged and also was a winner of an EcoEditions Award from 23 Sandy. The caption on the 23 Sandy site says, about the book:
In 1957 the Columbia river was dammed at Celilo Falls, inundating ten thousand years of native culture and a thriving river ecosystem. Submerged depicts this event with poignant text and hand-painted imagery by the artist. The physical structure of the book captures both the flow and stasis of Celilo Falls: the opening movement of the book mirrors cascading water and the static pages reference a dam wall.
