This exhibition is the first major retrospective
of renowned photographer Fay Godwin.
Including insightful portraits of writers and
poets, strikingly beautiful black and white
landscapes and recent jewel-like colour
work, it offers a comprehensive over view of
one of Britain’s most respected
photographers.
Using natural light and photographing writers
and poets in their own homes, Fay Godwin’s
literary portraits radiate a genuine intimacy
and warmth. Her keen observations of our
relationship with nature are humorous and
tragic in turn. Surreal images of horses and
telephone boxes are counterbalanced by
achingly beautiful images of land laid waste
by man. Fay’s recent glorious colour work
shows the nature we think we know as really
exotic and unknown.
Fay Godwin brings a compassionate and
considered gaze to all she photographs,
leaving the viewer with memorable and
thought provoking images. Interspersed with
the poetry these photographs have been
inspired by and inspired, this exhibition
stands as both a body of beautiful work and
a testament to our uneasy relationship with
nature.
