Roger Richardson, Let Me Sow Love (signed), 2022

“Let Me Sow Love” is the result of the intimate relationship between the author and his community: quiet and delicate, the photographs depict everyday life in all its simple and luminous beauty.

The images go to constitute a cross-section of the modern-day United States without any desire to raise criticism or make judgments; the sequence weaves poetic visual compositions, alternating between portraits and glimpses of landscapes, both natural and urban, to bring to life a tale of fragility and resilience, identity and community.

This narrative in images that aims to create, paraphrasing the words of poet Philip Levine, a “vision of people and place,” results independent of geographic and temporal constraints as an exploration of a larger concept, that of belonging to a community.
