- Summary
- "In a bold departure from her portraiture, acclaimed photographer Mariana Cook turns her eye to overlooked surroundings found close at hand. Cook set herself the task of making one photograph every day. The resulting work is a tribute to the art of looking closely. It is a celebration of form and transformation, a warm and thankful awareness of the world around us. It is impossible to resist these intimate images - a single egg, bands of light on a carpeted floor, a child's feet in the sand - or to remain unaffected by the subtle poignancy of the familiar made mysterious. Unadorned and pure, these pictures offer a welcome respite from the cacophony of our restless, distracted, too busy lives. They remind us to slow down, take note, and breathe."--Jacket.
