Sarah Rice documents an anarchist quest for equality within a rural Virginia commune.
[…] what we needis here. And we pray, notfor new earth or heaven, but to bequiet in heart, and in eye,clear. What we need is here.- Excerpt from The Wild Geese from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry
Tucked away on 72 acres of farm and forest, a commune in the hills of Virginia has been practicing its own form of social distancing for more than a quarter century. Documentary photographer, Sarah Rice, has made a regular pilgrimage to this cloistered community for nearly a decade while nurturing and expanding a raw and intimate collection of photographs. Her ongoing project, What We Need is Here, is wild and decidedly unromantic.
