Dormant Season is a metaphor of grief told through resilient people and toiled land in rural Wisconsin. Created with family and strangers, the series depicts the contrasts of the modern midwest where everyday occurrences get caught between past and present. A portrait of agrarian life, Dormant Season is a tender document of the intergenerational bonds of rural America: a mental space and physical place at the heart of an old dream and at the edge of a transformation.

Read about Dormant Season in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and The Collector Daily.

“Erinn’s photos not only capture the moment at hand, but hint at the past that led up to it. In her pictures, the air feels weighted by some kind of history or human emotion that cant be seen, but most certainly can be felt.” - Bill Shapiro, LIFE
