Small Deaths.

Photographs by Kate Breakey. Text by A.D. Coleman.

University Of Texas Press, Austin, In English, 2001. 168 pp., 81 color illustrations, 9¾x11¾".

"Small lives end every day-the unfledged bird fallen from its nest, the unwary lizard caught by a cat-as unnoticed in dying as they were in living. Deeply moved by these small deaths since her childhood in South Australia, photographer-artist Kate Breakey has been photographing found animal remains since the mid-1990s, creating stunning, oversized, hand-colored images that-paradoxically-glow with life."-the publisher.

Since her childhood in South Australia, photographer-artist Kate Breakey has been moved by the often unnoticed animals that live, and die, in our proximity. She has taken care to memorialize these tiny creatures--young birds too small to fly, the careless lizard--in her hand-colored, large format photographs. These delicate and quite common animals--sensitively portrayed and vibrantly colored--seem, quite paradoxically, to come alive on the page.
