- Summary
- Published to coincide with an exhibition at The Photographers Gallery the book Focuses on a formative period of Shirley Baker's practice and features many previously unseen photographs, in particular her startling colour work from Summer 1965, sequenced as an unfolding visual narrative. A foreword by Professor Griselda Pollock, and an original short story by author Jackie Kay offer a contemporary reading of the quiet drama of Baker's photographs and serves to underline the photographer's principal significance as a compassionate as well as a humorous teller of stories that make visible the spectrum of human resilience.
