The title P.North doesn't refer to a place in the purest sense of the word. Drawing on a series of photographs made in rural New Zealand and Australia chiefly during the 1980s and 1990s, Kathryn McCool's debut book floats between decades, locations, people, and the less palpable dynamics that connect them. Shopkeepers, youths, churchgoers, young children, and animals populate these photographs - nondescript landscapes and sleepy, small-town goings-on building a strangely loaded backdrop. McCool's unusual photographic signature only feeds this intangible atmosphere.
