Concepts of community, identity, spirituality, and locality are explored in interdisciplinary contexts.
The second half of the book is an alphabetical directory of the artists discussed in the essays, with biographical information, notes on exhibitions and collections, and the artists'' own statements about their work and their visions.

Sandweiss, Joan M. Jensen, Terri Cohn, Corinne Whitaker, and Betty LaDuke. There is an afterword by Phoebe Farris.
