Since establishing himself as a critically acclaimed landscape
photographer in the 1970s, Fabian Miller has reinvented himself as
an artist specializing in camera-less, darkroom-produced
photographic images exploring the elements of light, time, and
color in a notably spare, but also vividly spiritual aesthetic
style which recalls elements of Modernism and intuitive scientific
exploration. Fabian Miller exposes light directly onto photographic
paper through substances such as plants, engine oil, cut-paper
shapes, glass and water. The methods used in the capturing of
Fabian Miller's artworks means that they are nearly impossible to
accurately reproduce, resulting in one of a kind, strikingly
luminous pieces; a record of light's behavior caught on
photographic paper. The Colour of Time features images personally
retouched under the artist's direction, and therefore provides the
most accurate printed representation of his work: "The pictures I
make are of nothing which exists in the world . What I am trying to
suggest is a state of mind which lifts the spirits and gives
strength and some kind of clarity." The Colour of Time is split
into three key sections. In the first section, noted academic
philosopher Nigel Warburton provides an overview of Fabian Miller's
work to date, including pieces which were created prior to his
landmark Year 1, October 2005 October 2006. Year 1 is Fabian
Miller's documentation through the passage of a year, with Fabian
Miller creating a daily image, with results that vary from gentle
to radical. The book features examples of artworks from all of the
artist's recent works, including Year 2 and later series, as well
as pictures of Fabian Miller's work in the context of various
gallery exhibitions. The latter sections of the book more directly
cover the periods of 2007 2008 and 2009 present. The second section
encompasses full color plates of examples of work from the series
Year 2. The artwork plates are prefixed with an introductory essay
by novelist, mythologist and cultural historian Marina Warner. The
final chapter is preceded with an introductory text by eminent
travel writer and historian, Adam Nicolson, whose essay "The
Otherworld" focuses on the prominence of the concept of night-time
"nothingness" and the inexorable links between the notion of an
"otherworld", the natural world, and the human psyche in Fabian
Miller's work. Garry Fabian Miller has a deserved reputation as one
of the most progressive artists working with photography today and
The Colour of Time is a beautifully reproduced overview and welcome
addition to the published work of the artist's progressive and
affecting recent output.
