Publisher's Description
Sometimes an outsider, unencumbered, can capture the truth of a place or a thing in a way that natives or academic historians cannot. Vicki Topaz is neither an architectural historian nor a social historian, nor is she a native of France. 'Silent Nests,' her book of photographs of pigeonniers in Normandy and Brittany, is a document of another order, a poetic document that evokes the mysterious power of the past with a kind of depth and resonance that comes only from the profound sympathies of art. - Steve Woodall, Director, Center for Book & Paper Arts, Columbia College Chicago
