This artist portfolio is composed of living memories inside of dirt. James Jack's work explores the richness of dirt through stories rooted in our immediate surroundings that resist settler narratives of land. While respectfully touching these sensitive sites of trauma and transition encountered in Vietnam and Singapore, voices from the past emerge. As these temporary dirt windows open and their stories unfold, an opportunity for healing opens as well. Thereby spaces open for envisioning alternate futures with the voices of dirt in solidarity with humans caring for land as part ourselves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
