In these photographs from her series "Within the Bittersweet," Allison Grant explores the intersection of motherhood and environmental devastation, combining what she describes as “the hauntingly beautiful experience of falling in love with my children, watching them grow, and experiencing the sensuous wonder of the natural world—and [. . .] the psychic weight of knowing that climate change and environmental contamination are rapidly escalating, with profound impacts expected for generations.” Infused with a soft golden light, these quiet works, which the artist made in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, capture this dual state of tender love and fear.
