The Book of Hours
By Julia Bennet, Lenscratch
I was lucky enough to revisit this nostalgia I have for winters past with the help of Amanda Marchand’s series True North and related book, Book of Hours, printed and bound by Datz Press. This tender meditation on the passage of time and light provides a much needed respite from the pace and demands of daily life. Marchand endured temperatures well below freezing in order to make the most of a hazy 6 hours of sunlight each day during her month-long residency in Finland, all the while asking herself and thereby her viewers to contemplate the subtleties of winter’s stillness.
