MATT MAHURIN: PHOTOGRAPHS

Twelvetrees Press, 1988, First edition, 48 pp., 91 /2" X 12 1/4", Hardcover

Fine

Mahurin's first book, a collection of dark and somewhat eerie black and white photographs. Includes 50 gravure plates.

Mahurin’s vision straddles two worlds—daytime glimpses out of the corner of the mind's eye, and night visions we might spy with our eyes closed. Ordinary moments captured in mid-gesture are infused with an unexpected ritualism. The photograph becomes a frozen prayer to the perpetual rhythm of everyday life.
