In a book of 54 photographs made between 2011 and 2014, he attempts to reconcile the vagaries of memory (and the uncertainty of looking) with our need to make narrative sense of things. Using a desolate desert lake as a theatrical backdrop, Jude meanders through the arid landscape of his youth, making note of everything from venomous spiders to discarded pornography. If one considers these traces to be a coded language of some sort, Jude’s act of photographing and piecing them together becomes a form of cryptography – like a poetic archeology that, rather than attempting to arrive at something conclusive, looks for patterns and rhythms that create congruity out of the stuttering utterances of the visible world. According to Jude, “these harmonies, when we’re lucky enough to find them, are probably the closest we can get to discovering actual ‘meaning’ and grasping the potency of place.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 pages\u003cbr\u003e55 colour plates\u003cbr\u003e24.1 cm x 29.2 cm\u003cbr\u003eEmbossed and printed linen hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: September 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN 9781910164341\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bookpageSpec\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ron Jude","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54408145568072,"sku":"qyz1793014147269","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/8904\/5320\/files\/lago_1.jpg?v=1793014156","url":"https:\/\/www.canvasgrove.shop\/products\/lago","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
