Text: from The Book of Hours, Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy, Riverhead Books, Penguin Group USA, New York, New York. Reprinted with permission of the publisher. Terry Turrentine: "Over the past 20 years in my fine artist books, my focus has been on the majesty of birds and their complex role in the natural world. Honoring these glorious creatures, I have portrayed the beauty of light, as in studies of the great egret, snowy owl, and gannet. "My work published in 2020, Widening Circles, explores a new subject for me- an aspect of darkness. Ferocious hawks in the wild become the symbol of the predatory instincts in both man and nature, while domesticated hawks are masked and leashed. "Written over 100 years ago, in a time of extreme duress, the text from a poem by Rilke is embossed in a deep, deep black photographic paper. You have to really lean into the text to read it, to find the message of hope that counterbalances any violence implied in both the hawk on the hunt and the hawk in captivity. "The cover of the volume is hand dyed in red ink, the color of blood. The volume is housed in a leather box, like a hawk in captivity. "Thus, the bloodlust of a hawk on the hunt is contrasted with the subdued hawks in their protective gear. I believe this tension between freedom and restriction, between violence and peace, is a reality we face in our world today. But we can also turn to Rilke's words of faith and hope as we face each new day. "As is stated in Widening Circles, I believe the sublime gift of nature is witnessing the cycles of life and death and renewal. It shows us we as artists can transcend destruction through creativity…even in an age of societal and environmental assault.
