Caroline Vaughan’s photographs offer inspired and surprising visions of landscapes, still lifes, and the human form. In Borrowed Time, her images of nature and people, sometimes surreal and often arresting, follow each other to create a visual poem of opposition and likeness, physical beauty and balance. Compelling the viewer’s attention with delicate rich tones and meticulous technique, she holds the viewer’s gaze even when her subject is difficult. Most highly acclaimed for her psychologically complex but subtle portraits of family, friends, loved ones, and strangers, Vaughan’s work, though widely published and displayed, is collected here for the first time.

“Borrowed Time-life and death, fire and ice, male and female, outer and inner meet timelessness, the narrow temperature zone of life, androgyny, and wholeness in a slow dance that is more complex than it seems at first glance.”-Olivia Parker “Devastating and quietly revealing. There is something both equalizing and transforming that takes place when a subject is placed in Vaughan’s lens. She has a way of evoking and capturing a moment of intense self-recognition in her subjects.”-Alex Harris “The sight of any one of a number of photographs by Caroline Vaughan can clean my sight like a fierce but soon forbearing solvent. In her work, the Earth is its full best self-a self from all its billion selves, all things to all creatures: terror and joy, our hope of rescue, our eventual rest.”-Reynolds Price, from the foreword
