<p>In 1860 Lucy Strange and her brother Thomas are orphaned, and so begins Lucy's adolescent journey of discovery. It will take her away from her childhood home in Australia to London and Bombay and, finally, to her death, at the age of twenty-two. Lucy's is a life abbreviated, but not a life diminished. She is a remarkable character, forthright, gifted and canny. Sixty Lights is a powerful chronicle of a modern and independent young woman's life in the Victorian world. Objects evoke the past and hint at the future in a narrative that flows between pleats in time, through her observation of such objects Lucy's photographic vision is apparent. Her world is a series of still images which one day, printed on albumen paper, she will leave behind as affecting mementoes of her own extraordinary life.</p>
