The Sweetness in Soil

Recollection. Celebration. Lament. Ambivalence. Ode to life, black life, and the narrative through the eyes of one woman amidst the city and the soil surrounding it. This work is non-fiction, it is memoir, it is storytelling that can be defined as swift, rooted, organic, and immersive in its nature. Split into four segments: Breed, Burden, Bury, and Blossom; Gibson grapples with the ongoing brunt and beauty between the thick of the soil. The collection is accompanied by a photographic exhibition captured by the author/artist herself.
