Intending to supplement her understanding of photographic history, distinguished art historian Kirsten Hoving picked up a camera. Her series Roots and Wings locates the dream state beneath the surface of domestic life.

She writes:

Through photography, I see my world in ways that often astonish me.  Roots and Wings is a meditation on motherhood, love, and loss–specifically about the pride and pain of seeing my children embarking on their own lives as grown women.
