Spiritual passports2009
the unseen images of an artist who never lived to see them = Pasaportes espirituales : imágenes nunca vistas de una artista que no vivió para verlas
by Susan Cox
What we know of Martha Wood's spiritual quest we know only from images composed in her mind's eye and recovered from her camera after her sudden death in the Andean highlands of Peru--images that she never saw on film. Wood had traveled to Peru with her husband, Andy Johnson, and a group of friends. Pursuing separate journeys, they were to meet at the fabled Inca city of Machu Picchu. But fate intervened, and Wood passed away silently in the quiet hours of night. Examples of contemporary Mexican amate paper, reminiscent of the "spiritual passports" the Aztec placed on their dead, complement Wood's photographs throughout this tribute to an artist who never lived to see her finest work.
