\u201cIf a body of water is an imaginary space, then any island it surrounds becomes its record. Its shoreline is a map of footprints, its pockmarked woods a museum of minor industry. Both the visitor and the dreamer know: there will still be fingerprints on the windows, even once the doors have blown in.\u201d \u2013Ben Russell & Ben Rivers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
