Attracted to Light

Attracted to Light is a deluxe edition artist book created by twin artists Doug and Mike Starn, featuring fourteen hand-coated gelatin silver prints on Thai mulberry paper, published by Nancy Bressler Editions in New York in 1999. The work explores the Starns' signature aesthetic of fragile, layered imagery, with the translucent and fibrous quality of the mulberry paper enhancing the ethereal, organic feel of the photographs. The interplay between light, shadow, and the delicate materiality of the paper reflects the duo's ongoing fascination with themes of nature, fragility, and transformation.
