Backstory: Issue 4 Art by Gabriela Knutson
It was a pleasure and a joy to select images from my collection and pair them together with the poetry, flash, and short fiction pieces published in this issue of Five South.
If she is not writing, taking pictures, folding origami paper boxes or cutting wood, she is conjuring up more crazy ideas and planning wild antics. Born and raised along the El Paso/Juarez border, Gabriela brings a multicultural sensibility to her artwork, finding humor and beauty in somewhat dark spaces. She is the writer of "Legumes: A Collection of Very Short Stories." Her writing has been published on Aquifer: The Florida Review Online and Hobart Pulp. Her photography has been featured on Resurrection Magazine. Gabriela currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, two kids, a dog and a cat.
