“Cracked Amber Solid {frieze of the faded}”
Phil Barrington / 2017, with essays & appendices.
Over 18’s only; contains graphic material.
Released as a very limited number high quality hardback ‘Art Edition’ book.

Haunting vintage found photographs, mixed-media assemblage, collage and cut-up textual narratives examine major motifs: the stages of life, hopelessness, love, sexual expression and separation in life and death. Graphic imagery and dark humour abound.

“Hauntology, as a creative ambient movement, has mostly shied away from certain recollections we all have – which I found to be suspiciously censorious. We do not censor our own memories, thus my book is uncensored and strictly for adults only, though with an emphasis on ambient mood and gentle reminiscence, no matter how graphic the imagery or text becomes in certain sections.” Phil Barrington.

Phil Barrington’s third book has taken over 3 years to complete, from an archive of imagery and objects personally collected over the past 25 years.
