“Light Stain” review @ Knight Arts Blog
Isaac Pool combines poetry and images in Light Stain. All images courtesy of Pool and What Pipeline.
For the first 76 pages, the images in “Light Stain”–a new book of poems and photographs by artist Isaac Pool–are ambiguous, almost subject-less in their composition. These are largely snapshots, and though the images in this section are dated within the last 15 years, their grainy quality and faded color palette evoke an association with the 1970s and ’80s, when instant cameras first entered the domestic realm.
