"The sight of any one of a number of photographs by Caroline Vaughan can clean my sight like a fierce but soon forbearing solvent. In her work, the Earth is its full best self - a self from all its billion selves, all things to all creatures: terror and joy, our hope of rescue, our eventual rest." - Reynolds Price, from the foreword "Devastating and quietly revealing. There is something both equalising and transforming that takes place when a subject is placed in Vaughan's lens. She has a way of evoking and capturing a moment of intense self-recognition in her subjects." - Alex Harris "Borrowed Time - life and death, fire and ice, male and female, outer and inner meet timelessness, the narrow temperature zone of life, androgyny, and wholeness in a slow dance that is more complex than it seems at first glance." - Olivia Parker "Borrowed Time is quite elegant." - Anne Tucker, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston "Caroline Vaughan's work is lovingly seen and meticulously produced." - Marianne Fulton, George Eastman House
