Went with the girls to the V&A to see Shadow Catchers.
Really impressive exhibition. Each of the 5 artists has used a different way of creating an image onto paper without a camera. The video is fantastic. Listening to how they saw the images and then set about creating them. Was particulary impressed with the way Susan Derges used water and moonlight. I was attrated to the simple images like the leaves on paper and the christening dress.
The drop of water light by a torchlight. Simple but very dramatic.
I've tried using liquid light. Bought some sunography paper to play around with. (just need sun!)
Will go back to this exhibition after Xmas and absorb a bit more. Seeing and understanding light is key to any image creation. We all intend to look for workshops to learn a bit more.
