Guatemala

While traveling in Guatemala, I was able to generally explore and connect with people on and off the beaten path. For the first several days, I focused on learning about the culture and living conditions of people in rural communities on the Pacific Slope. I accompanied Tristan Call, cultural anthropologist and graduate student at Vanderbilt University, and writer/farmer Katy Savage to villages that are currently being threatened by the environmental and economic impact of large neighboring industrial agribusinesses. We were also hosted by a family in San Basilio for a couple of days. San Basilio is a thriving agricultural community, where we were able to observe traditional sustainable farming practices and learn about the farmer’s experiences during the Guatemalan civil war. We were generously hosted by families in all of the communities we visited.

A return trip is planned for Spring 2012.

Print & Frame Details:

Images are printed with archival pigment ink on Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl paper. Each print is individually signed with acid-free permanent ink. Print sizes include a minimum 1/2” border around the image area for matting purposes.

Specific image dimensions may vary. General dimension estimates are listed above. Frames for 8”x10” and larger prints are wood with a flat black finish. Mats for framed prints are 8-ply white archival rag. There is a 1/4” border between the image area and mat. Mat borders are 3” for 8” x 10” prints and 4” for 11” x 14” to 20” x 30” prints. Due to the subjective nature of frame selection, requests for variations in framing must be sought directly from the local framer of your choice.

*The 5" x 7" matted print is unframed and comes in a clear protective bag. It is matted (4-ply archival) to a standard 8" x 10" frame size with a full-bleed image window of 4.5" x 6.5". The print and mat are signed.

Please contact Stacey for custom size or substrate requests.
