The Light That's Lost
Living in a former palace. London’s elusive light. Animals. Dreams. Memories of an English countryside childhood. Investigation, memoir, visual essay and fiction convene through photography and writing in Paul Vernon’s personal debut book. Generated from years of unpublished photography newly sequenced and designed, through various photographic formats The Light That's Lost takes the reader and observer through a self-reflective portrait and confession of Paul's interpretation of his pursuit for light. In a poetic muse on his life, an aesthetic narrative develops through the images and writing, seeing from his present into the past remembered anew, imagined future and a search for the lost. The first book of the Candlelight Flavoured Bubblegum series.
