Bodies of Water
I am really delighted and honoured to have been included in the relaunch edition of Edge Zine. Having spent the last few years photographing ripples, lakes, canals and sea the theme of ‘water’ felt like an absolute gift!
I came across the notion of ‘Hydrofeminism’ (Neimanis, 2012) a while ago and was immediately fascinated by the concept. I knew I wanted to use this as inspiration for developing the work but wasn’t sure of the direction it would take. After lots of experimenting I decided on an abstract approach which captures the idea of water being a form of connection.
I was a bit amazed and very grateful that the text was included in its entirety. The next theme is ‘Time’ so I suspect I may be submitting again!
Congratulations to the editorial team for such a glorious, multifaceted edition.
