God's Country: A Collective Exploration of Louisiana's Frontiers

God's Country wanders through the subtle stories and complicated narrative of Louisiana. The six visual field guides comprising this box set shed light on the roads less traveled, in sleepy towns tucked along the state's borders. From 2012 through 2016, Southerly Gold traveled to the parishes that occupy the delineated corners of the state following trails of industrialization. These photographers explore the promises and resources that the farthest reaches of Louisiana have held. From agriculture to oil. From land to sea. These images of the contemporary landscape, captured along routes of the past, bear witness to the residue of these promises. 

Southerly Gold is a collective of three female photographers - Aubrey Edwards, Ariya Martin, and Elena Ricci - living and working in New Orleans, Louisiana.
