About The Work
Paula Hayes’ terrariums, outdoor landscapes, and other living artworks connect people to the natural environment. This limited edition book relies equally on image, typography, and word to create a poetic world in which the reader is invited to enter through various portals which the book offers. Every detail of the book offers carefully nuanced details of the experience of a place named Lucid Green–a nature sanctuary set in an unknown time in the future. That future is a type of space and time that is different than the one we are in when we read the book, we are told, by the book’s main character, Jill Poet. Jill is a being from another planet named Thear, who has come to Earth after an event called The Disappearance. The book's three chapters–"Jill Poet," "The Disappearance," and "Wonder"–bring the reader through her realization as a spirit that evokes the ambiguity of life and our love of a dying planet.
