Sarah Bryant: "'Acts of Translation: Allison Grant' is the first in a series of collaborative books from Big Jump Press devoted to translation and communication. Text for this project was gathered, edited, and recombined by Sarah Bryant from a series of recorded interviews with Allison Grant conducted in 2021 and 2022. The images are tracings of photographs taken by Grant at Hurricane Creek in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2019. 'Isa at the Swimming Hole' was selected from 21 frames, eight of which are represented as traced drawings in the book. 'Isa at the Swimming Hole' is part of Grant's series 'Within the Bittersweet,' a dark pastoral examination of her experiences raising her children amid concerns about the impacts of the climate crisis and environmental contamination.
