Lying seven miles into the stormy North Atlantic, the Isles of Shoals become deserted in winter. That’s when Alexandra de Steiguer arrives. Alone, she keeps watch over the buildings and grounds and natural elements – the winter caretaker. With sixty-nine stirring black and white photographs that give voice to this rugged setting, Alex's stories and reflections tell of how she learned to live in a very small place. Even while embracing solitude, she learned to value the connections between herself and the wider world. In Small Island, Big Picture, Alex shares with us the power of living in amazement of those connections, of loving the mystery of the unknown, and of re-examining what we think we know about ourselves. Though graced with beautiful images, hand-printed by the author in a traditional darkroom and then scanned for quality duotone, offset printing, this is far more than a coffee-table art book. Rather, it is a small wonder of insights to be revisited again and again.
