Seller's Description:
New. No dust jacket as issued. First edition, first and only printing. Hardcover. Fine maroon linen cloth, with title stamped in white on front cover and spine and four-color plate tipped in front cover, no dust jacket as issued. Photographs by Peter Fraser. Essay by Gerry Badger. 60 pp., with 42 four-color plates, and two additional four-color plates with reproductions of all the numbered plates. Includes a brief biography. Beautifully printed on fine matte art paper. 14-1/8 x 14-1/8 inches. This first edition was limited to 1000 copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap. From the publisher: "In the illuminating essay he has written to accompany this new work by Peter Fraser, Gerry Badger tells of the mix of feelings he had on first seeing one of Fraser's photographs. Moving from surprise, bafflement and incomprehension to admiration and pleasure, he experienced the 'flame of recognition' when, to quote James Joyce, the 'whatness' of a thing is revealed. Fraser himself has described his pictures of static, seemingly mundane objects as 'trying to understand what the world around me is made of. ' The results of this quest, which is at once delightfully simple and highly sophisticated, are visually stunning images that, best of all, become more rewarding every time you look at them. Since his work was first exhibited in the early 1980s, Peter Fraser has established himself as one of the most important photographers working in the UK. Drawing inspiration from the work of William Eggleston, with whom he spent a formative two months in 1984, he has become a master in the poetic use of color in his art. In 2004 Fraser was shortlisted for the prestigious Citigroup Photography Prize. An internationally acclaimed photographer, his work has been widely exhibited and is included in many collections in Europe and the United States."

From the artist: "Substance is smeared across substance, across the surface of the world, and becomes the world's new surface; wires are bound, wound around other wires; material on material produces the fringed edges of scurf and skimmings, as delicate as circuit board tracings; materials are split and materials are spilt; metal is bruised by heat and metal is coated in a fur of ice; things come together and things come apart; material becomes new material."
