When the Whole Garden Burned

Behind Meyer's paintings lies a world of story-telling. Although Meyer has always separated these two mediums, her book combines the parallel worlds of personal narrative and artwork, taking form as text, photography, paintings, and illustrations. Blending the real with the unreal, her stories illuminate the source from which Meyer culls her visual work. Lyrical essays and prose poems express the dream-like quality of experience, prompting a broader consideration of the artist's biography as well as more universal themes of grief, loss, and miscommunication. Sourcing from the past four years of her life before the book's publication, Meyer has merged collected dreams, symbols, and memories in order to share with her audience the broader scope of her creating.
