Where the Light Came In by , published by , is a quiet, long-term exploration of the artist’s own domestic space. Working in black and white, Black photographs light, rooms, objects, and small moments that repeat over time. The book is built on attention rather than events, revealing how familiarity, memory, and presence shape what we see.

In the interview, Black speaks about working slowly and without a fixed plan, returning to the same spaces and allowing the photographs to accumulate over years. She reflects on trust, uncertainty, and the importance of staying with a place long enough for meaning to emerge, rather than trying to explain or control it.

The full article looks closely at how this approach shaped the book, why repetition became central to the work, and what changed for Black by committing to a single, everyday environment. Read the full article!
