Wendell Berry, a poetic and philosophical critic who writes of nature and of simplicity, once said, "I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods." This appreciation for the simple, reverent interaction of hand and soil, the pursuit of domestic simplicity, shoots through much of Berry's writing and has since inspired a generation of young farmers, poets and American home-dwellers. And that mentality infuses the photography of Columbia resident Rachel Keren Nelson, who strives to capture the most intricate, glowing details of contemporary Midwestern hearth, home and heather.
