Neither a Salt Spring Nor a Horse documents a series of paintings, Poseidon Paintings, and two series of photographs by the artist Nick Waplington. Olive Trees (2013) was taken in “no man’s land” between the Jewish settlement of Har Homa, south of Jerusalem, and the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, a few hundred metres away. The second series, Athena 1 to 9 (2012), were taken while Waplington was out walking in the mountains in the northern West Bank. The women in the photographs are students at a midrasha, or Jewish religious boarding school, in the settlement of Shvut Rachel.
