Shadow Damage - Nicole Brannen
‘The idea of home, what that means and how it looks. Not only can it be thought of as a structure or place, but also something that can be sensed within people. I think I've always wanted to pay some sort of homage to that feeling, relationships, significant locations, an essence of timelessness all encapsulated within photographs.’
Shadow Damage is an incredibly nostalgic portrayal on memories and experiences within Nicole Brannen's realm of Aotearoa and beyond. Made over a number of years, the photographs express a vivid warmth within both nature and people. Afternoon sun and swing sets, shadows casting puppet shows for close ones whilst windows left open- a bittersweet wind sets the tone within this book. Shadow Damage is a a beautiful collection of photographs that expresses the warm call of home.
