Cig Harvey's third monograph is a vibrant and bold volume exploring her relationship with life itself: a work about paying attention to and appreciating the fragile present.

It catches moments of awe, makes icons of the everyday, and looks at life on the threshold between magic and disaster. She has always experienced the world viscerally, but after a traumatic event a raw, heightened awareness of the temporary nature of life permeates this work. Through breathless moments of beauty her frames propel us to fathom the sacred in the split seconds of the everyday, and they are interwoven with her own intimate poetry.
