Aqua Fortis

Water is the core of life, and this can be embodied within alternative photography. Water represents life, living and the natural world and becomes the centre of photography withing this body of work. It takes on different shapes, forms and flows to transcend into a different world. There are celestial elements to the work that represent the process of being created at night. Through the combination of darkroom and location prints, you become immersed and enter the realm of water, away from the everyday hustle and bustle of life, where there is the opportunity to escape and connect with the natural world.

Quote from Sarah Thomson “I was so taken with the elusive, transient feeling, liquid nature of these pictures.  They appear to me like a microcosm of the world that maybe some of us are inhabiting at the moment: fluid, ungraspable, a little melancholic and sometimes unexpectedly beautiful.  They are so affecting, and though (nearly) black and white, they are also curiously contemporary.”
