This series of paintings, capturing a small, uninhabited island in Eggemoggin Reach in all lights, weathers and moods, forms the basis of this book. But the whole is so much more than the sum of its pieces. These paintings represent an ongoing narrative: "island as escape and entrapment, island as longing and memory, island as sanctuary, island as self in a sea of turmoil." Curry's island speaks to us of our own fears and our own spiritual connections with the natural world. The paintings are accompanied by essays by Terry Tempest Williams, exploring Curry's spirit of place, and Carl Little, establishing Curry's art within the field of landscape painting.
