Quarry Books is a series of chapbooks intended to reclaim
Vermonters who time has buried less than overlooked. The past may
not make itself known to us until we have caught up with it, despite
the efforts of the archaeologists and historians. It may take a word,
a shout in the street, rustlings of one kind or another - the collisions
of deja vu - to bring it back. The already-heard, as it were, that
reaches us like an echo.

In
the reclusive, private practice of a photographer Hazel Dow Wood followed that
was secondary to her life as wife and mother, she stakes a claim for a public
life fast disappearing, even if the medium she used to preserve that life was
integral to what has come to be known as the commercialization of leisure, and
subsequently, the colonization of every day life. Wood's photographs have to be
seen in the context of the America of its time.
