I love everything in this post.
...Thanks, people.<br /><br />I love everything in this post.<br /><br />Nin Andrews, whose voice will be familiar to anyone who's been coming round here these past six or seven years, is an American artist who was brought up in Virginia and now lives in Ohio where she writes sharp, edgy poems and reviews and produces terrific poetic cartoons on her blog.<br /><br />Vanessa Winship is a British photographer who was brought up on Humberside and has worked on portraiture, landscape and reportage in many places round the world, including the US (where these photos were obviously made) and in the Balkans and surrounding territories of Turkey and the Black Sea. She is the first woman photographer to win the prestigious Henri Cartier-Bressso Award (2011).<br /><br />I've represented her American work here largely in portraits, but in the series from which they come, the relations of figures to landscapes is critical. The shock of the unfamiliar lurks quietly within many of the most composed images.<br /><br />In an interview posted at the time of a major Madrid retrospective of her work last year, she said: "In my work I have always spoken about land and what it means – from the work in Georgia onwards, I’d been moving towards using the landscape to articulate my feelings about the place, and in she dances on Jackson, the larger body of the work is landscape."TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-14136098179112980142015-01-25T05:22:45.598-08:002015-01-25T05:22:45.598-08:00Thanks so much, Tom!
