Candy Cat Head | Valerie Phillips | Marginal Press 2025 [SIGNED]

This book features unpublished photographs, contact sheets, mini-lab prints, photocopies, and clippings from the production process of Valerie Phillips' classic photobook, published in the early 2000s. Featuring three girls: Monica, Lacy, and Courtney.

"From a New York apartment to a road trip across the endless American Midwest, Phillips uncovered the "beautiful weirdness" she discovered along the way, and her unique aesthetic captures these vivid portraits of adolescence, travel, freedom, and the brilliance of life.

No need for decorative beauty. No need for sanitized ideals of womanhood. Valerie continues to capture, instinctively, the real faces of the girls who live there and the brilliance of their everyday lives. What emerges is an emotional, slightly gritty, and raw beauty, imperfect in its purest form." - Excerpt from publisher's statement
