"Made between July 2004 and August 2005, Motherland tells a story of Russia. Comprising photographs from over 200 locations in this vast, eastern nation, this body of work represents the most extensive and comprehensive photographic account of this country by a Westerner.
Instead of falling prey to the clichéd representations of a Russia ground down by poverty and despair, intimate portraits of contemporary Russians show us a diverse people, united by a sense of common identity and connected by a shared love of the ‘the Motherland’, while vast, sometimes, peopled landscapes reveal the complexity and uniqueness of the country."
