My Grandma was a Turtle« is a collection of particularly American motifs, that culminates in double-sided images of the prairie depicting considerable numbers of bison. Here too, the artist connects landscape photographs with portraits of the inhabitants, yet she is less interested in merely comparing them: rather the hand-pasted, individual photographic reproductions lend the edition a unique format, which might readily be compared to early photograph albums or collectors’ albums for cigarette cards and suchlike.
The book was published to coincide with the artist's exhibition at Foam, Museum of Photography, Amsterdam, 25/03/2010–02/05/2010.
