Description
Book SynopsisAs an island race we have always looked out; to find food from the sea, to find opportunityto trade, to find adventure, and to find ourselves. Brighter Lateris a journey around the coastal counties of Britain. It is a portrait of the island, looking out rather than in. As novelist Melissa Harrison writes in her essay included in the book:Brian David Stevens' simple seascapes require a slowing-down, a recalibrating ofour usual demand for information, drama and resolution. More than just requiring it,in fact, they induce it: each pair of images leads us quietly out of our everyday worldand stands us on a British beach somewhere, shielding our eyes against all thatreflected light, that surfeit of sky. Brighter Laterfeatures 68pp of full colour photographs, together with text from Brian David Stevens and Melissa Harrison, with design and layout by Wayne Ford.
