2010406415London: Black Dog Publishing 2010. A near fine copy with some wear to jacket. 9.75 x 9.75 inches. 190 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original blue boards; dust jacket. First edition. "Since establishing himself as a critically acclaimed landscape photographer in the 1970s Fabian Miller has reinvented himself as an artist specializing in camera-less darkroom-produced photographic images exploring the elements of light time and color in a notably spare but also vividly spiritual aesthetic style which recalls elements of Modernism and intuitive scientific exploration. Fabian Miller exposes light directly onto photographic paper through substances such as plants engine oil cut-paper shapes glass and water. The methods used in the capturing of Fabian Miller's artworks means that they are nearly impossible to accurately reproduce resulting in one of a kind strikingly luminous pieces; a record of light's behavior caught on photographic paper.The Colour of Time features images personally retouched under the artist's direction and therefore provides the most accurate printed representation of his work: "The pictures I make are of nothing which exists in the world. What I am trying to suggest is a state of mind which lifts the spirits and gives strength and some kind of clarity" the publisher. <br/><br/> Black Dog Publishing hardcover books
