"Todd Hido is one of the most widely recognized and influential photographic artists of our time. Silver Meadows is the name of a street that runs through the neighborhood in Kent, Ohio where the artist grew up. The setting of Hido's childhood, it also became the creative wellspring for his work. Here, it serves as a point of departure for Hido's reexamination of a Midwestern suburban upbringing - a trip through the innocence of childhood and adolescence and into the darker aspects of life beyond". Hido writes here "This specially curated set of pictures from my archives completes a deeper and alternative view on the narrative theme in "Excerpts From Silver Meadows". A brand new, pristine example of the quickly sold out first and only printing of this charming little set of fifty Todd Hido collector-type trading cards housed in a Plexiglas box limited to five hundred individually numbered copies still in the publisher's shrinkwrap.
