Includes limited edition print.
Release June 2027.
In the Midday Silver is a book combining poetry and photography in a lyrical exploration of grief, loss and recovery.
In the spring of 2024, Taylor Kydd lost both her father and her brother within weeks of each other. One was expected, the other not. In the aftermath of that experience, she turned to her practice, writing and making photographs, as a way of finding ground.
The photographs, in a series of portraits and fragments, represent a reconnection to the world through an engagement with light and beauty, uncovering a path to recovery. The poems attempt a clearer examination, a distillation of experience, externalizing emotions in an effort to see them with some fresh perspective.
In the interplay of text and image, new conversations emerge, translucent pages of vellum reveal new narratives beneath as the photographs and poetry combine. Much like the process of grief itself, there is a submersion and a surfacing of materials, that echo the emotional journey.
