“Soil is miraculous. . . In soil, matter crosses and recrosses the boundary between living and dead; and, as we have seen, boundaries — edges — are where the most interesting and important events occur.”

Dirt (2019) is an artist book about regenerative agriculture, carbon sequestration and ecosystems services. Such topics are vast and complex to grasp, and our need to understand them only becomes more crucial as the planet's need for us to act intensifies. Yet we are offered a foundation, a baseline to comprehension of nature's ways of being through the soil beneath our feet —our common ground. The first step is to stop using the word ‘dirt’ in such derogatory ways, not just when speaking about the Earth, but in all communications with the world around us.
