The Gate Contained

The Gate Contained is a unique collaboration between a poet and a photographer. Eleven photographs paired with eleven sonnets create an immersive experience that is more than the sum of the individual components. These pairings are followed by meditations by both artists on artistic creation. See below for About the author for Christopher Guerin.
