Nothing Will Ever be the Same Again
“How do you describe a quiet that is three dimensional, flexing and shimmering like some bewitched cloak draped around you?” _Julia Bennett, Lenscratch
Taking place over the entire month of January, the book pays homage to the vulnerable season of winter. The work focuses on three windows in a century-old schoolhouse and their subtle surprises, nautical twilight, a bird, the sudden sun. Following the movement of light across the minimal landscape, the serial images contemplate human, geologic and cosmic time. Through repetition, gate-folds, and other playful structural elements, the book is a return to a childhood state of pure presence and delight. The square windows double as the camera frame – the photographs were made with a medium-format, analog camera that produces a square negative. Different papers are used in the book, reflecting shades of snow. The cover is embossed, and hidden inside the dust jacket, where the image titles also double as a poem. As the title suggests, no two books are exactly alike. One page at the end of each book is unique - tipped in to each is a different 2 ¼″ C-print .
