Gilian is at work on a series of poems and short stories, which investigates the sacred and complicated relationship between humans and nature, and is rooted in experiences with people living in places ranging from the highlands in rural Guatemala and the Delaware River Valley in upstate New York, to the desert in Southern California, and the coastal cities in Europe. Her cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary creative approach has illuminated a unique perspective on our place in the natural order of things. It’s called The Place And People Project, and she most recently explored it as artist-in-residence at The Switch gallery in Lisbon, Portugal.
