In early July I went to Rencontres d’Arles for a few days. I managed to see a lot of exhibitions and hear several artist’s talks including Susan Meiselas and Alys Tomlinson. Some of my favourite work was at Atelier des Forges - Rachel Rose’s Enclosure video and the On Earth exhibition. Also found the Borders exhibition very powerful and Emeric LHuisset’s video, which had a wonderful voice track. Home Sweet Home and Kurt Tong’s exhibition also made a strong impression. This year I enjoyed the women in photography party by the pool where it was great to see so many familiar faces.
A big decision was made this month to leave my job and go back to university. I have been offered at place on the MA Photography course at LCC and plan to start in September. Exciting!
This month I have four photographs in Shutterhub’s Because We Can exhibition at Festival Pil’ours, France. The exhibition includes photographers from many different countries and runs until the end of August.
Tidal Islands
Building up a collection of images of tidal islands, which is connected in part to the Beyond Land series. This was from a shoot at the end of June.
