With a profound fascination for the road, the western frontier, escape, and unconventional lifestyles, Kurland has created a remarkable and essential body of work. Since 2004, she and her young son, Casper, have embarked on extensive travels in their customized van, journeying south during the winter and north during the summer. This unique lifestyle allows her to balance her roles as an artist and mother, constantly seeking a harmonious blend of routine and the exhilaration of freedom and unexpected discoveries. Casper's inquisitive nature, particularly his fascination with trains and later cars, becomes a guiding force in Kurland's artistic journey. He appears at various stages throughout her work, against breathtaking open vistas and within the vibrant communities of train hoppers and drifters. Kurland's vision is a captivating blend of raw and romantic, idyllic and dystopian. From highly symbolic images of trains traversing vast landscapes to allegorical representations of mechanics and muscle cars, this book showcases the full range of her road work, spanning from her series \"This Train is Bound for Glory\" to her most recent series, \"Sincere Auto Care.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1200g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 295 x 26 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781597115216                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44093657841914,"sku":"9781597115216","price":27.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/justine-kurland-highway-kind","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
