Dean’s symbolically charged compositions of contemplative stillness and explosive action see humans intimately immersed in their surroundings: submerged in water, enmeshed in undergrowth, leaping from rockfaces. Exploratory and ethereal, laden with risk and chance and adventure, her images reveal the complex interrelationships inherent in contemporary rites of passage and our connection to nature. © Thames & Hudson Hardback, 176 pages, 24.8 x 31.9 cm, 1406 g
