Flower Flower Water Light: Time to Think

I’m currently showing 2 images from Flower Flower Water Light as part of Time to Think, curated by Shutter Hub.

Time to Think is a photographic exhibition reflecting on the work of workmen in the 21st Century and celebrating female-identifying photographers.

145 female photographers / 435 images / 15 different countries

All showing at @festivalpilours St Gilles Croix de Vie, France, from 1st July to 31st August.

 

A massive thank you also to Shutter Hub for using my image to promote the call for entry and exhibition – it’s a real privilege!

 

Thought Atlas

Last month I took part in a really exciting, eclectic exhibition of photography, video and installation.  Curated by Heloise Bergman, Thought Atlas ran from 11th-16th June at Espacio Gallery, London.

I showed images from Flower Flower Water Light and Surrender the Land, as well as a projection of Cornish roads (hedges), in Flow.

 

 

 

 

 

Obsolete and Discontinued book for sale!

The book, Obsolete and Discontinued is now for sale at £30.00 (including postage) via www.obsolete-discontinued.com

It’s received positive reviews in the British Journal of Photography, Amateur Photographer, and Black and White Photography Magazine, as well as Ted Forbes on the latest Art of Photography video (around 7.20).

Here’s my Lith print of Dennis’s Greenhouse in Black and White Photography Magazine, photograph courtesy of Mike Crawford.

It really is a beautiful book, and a very eclectic collection of images too.  If you’re interested in alternative photographic processes – from Lith printing to Chemigrams and Lumen prints it’s well worth a look.

Obsolete and Discontinued – in the BJP, a book launch and an exhibition!

Obsolete and Discontinued is being made into a book!

The book is edited by project founder Mike Crawford and designed by Paul McKenzie Studio with an  introductory essay by Brigitte Lardinois. Published by Brovira Press the book is a limited edition run of 750 copies, cloth bound hardback, 128 pp, size: 28x24cm.

To support the project please do contribute to the O&D Crowdfunding campaign – as well as discounted copies you can buy limited edition postcards and prints from a selection of the featured artists.

The book launch is on Friday October 5th at Waterstones Bookshop Gallery, Gower Street, W1 – which will also mark the opening of a month long exhibition of all of the prints.

And if that wasn’t enough excitement, the BJP featured Obsolete and Discontinued on their website as well as running an article in its February 2018 magazine!
