Dodgson's eye carries the dual inheritance of two formative disciplines: a surfer's responsiveness to shifting conditions, and a darkroom photographer's exacting precision, the two held together in constant tension against a sense of wonder, bafflement and introspection before the material of the actual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eEarthquake Weather\u003c\/i\u003e dances along the faultlines between typology and sprawl: thumbed, dog-eared book pages worn soft by use, contemporary \u003ci\u003ememento mori \u003c\/i\u003ethat turn to the material of the body and its fragility, and plastic water bottles left on Japanese roadsides all serve as allegories for the fragility of our existence. Against these lines, the sequence snaps without warning into gallows humour and back again, moving through the registers of an uncertain age: fentanyl bottles lined neatly in a row, atmospheric CO2 readings, the fringes of Dodgson's established commercial practice, and excerpts from his frequent collaborations with the World Land Trust across areas of ecological importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThrough fugues of images reacting across the page, \u003ci\u003eEarthquake Weather\u003c\/i\u003e poses a quiet challenge to the seduction of Dodgson's precise gaze, insisting on describing a world that both hides and reveals itself within the same blink of an eye. In syrupy, coastal tones, \u003ci\u003eEarthquake Weather\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to the way we accumulate: in knowledge, within our bodies, through consumption, against entropy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Loose Joints","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50759882145849,"sku":"1-0188","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/EarthquareWeatherColinDodgsonRealm1791838867749.jpg?v=1791845036","url":"https:\/\/www.realmbooks.co\/products\/earthquake-weather-by-colin-dodgson","provider":"Realm Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
