First published in 2021, At Night Gardens Grow disappeared within a few short months of its release.

This new edition reshapes the work from within, adding unseen images, and removing others, not as a revisionist act but as continuation. Pia revisits At Night Gardens Grow five years on, having transitioned in the interim, now reflecting on her life at that time, and the drastic changes that have taken place since its release. The photographs are seen again through a body and a language that have come into alignment, allowing the deeper currents that lived deep within the work from the outset to surface more clearly. These images stand with one foot in contemporary America and the other in a more ancient register, haunted by family, memory, and the land itself.

 
 
 
 

THIS EDITION of At Night Gardens Grow has been reimagined, moving away from a traditional hardback into something gentler. It is wrapped in a delicate recycled dust jacket created by Pia using petals and earth to form an abstract work, marked with symbols drawn from her practice. Beneath it, exposed web-like stitching gives way to a sequence of previously unseen photographs of spider webs, printed on a rich uncoated stock.
