Olivia Arthur’s photographs were made in rural France during the last days of summer. They evoke inner peace, simple joys, and the poetry of childhood memories. Her photographs were inspired by the saying "Make Hay While the Sun Shines”: to bring the Sun inside, and make the most of every favorable opportunity. In these bucolic, ethereal photographs, haymaking and the end-of-summer sun come to symbolize seizing the moment and getting the most out of life. Arthur chose hay and straw bales as a starting point to showcase the positive energy that everyone feels with after a summer of sun, a time when people interact with nature more than any other season. Arthur finds ephemeral sculptures in the yellow grass, made from natural elements. In one particularly intimate and gentle photograph, the sun tenderly embraces a body and projects it as a delicate silhouette onto the hay, blending the elements in a sensuous ballet.
