The Island by Robert Darch
Originally conceived as a response to Brexit, the poetic black and white photographs of the Island convey the heaviness that he felt and reflect Robert’s anxieties and fears about a decision that will affect younger generations for years to come. The Island draws on formative memories and past emotions to realise a sense of place that reflects the times we are living in. The Island has an overriding sense of melancholy emphasised by the bleak monochrome imagery and cold winter light, shifting from dark corners, intimate portraits, misty landscapes and isolated figures. There is an unreality, a dreamlike quality and a horror that is prophetic of events to come in The Island.

The last few copies of The Island are available to buy via Robert's website- link in his bio

The Garden by Sian Davey ( )

Sian Davey’s most recent body of work, The Garden, sees the artist make use of her own garden in Devon as the setting for the project. Davey collaborated with her son Luke to completely transform their outdoor space, turning it into a safe haven for both wildlife and their community. The picturesque garden, teeming with native wild flowers, in turn becomes the most tender backdrop, fostering the images that make up the project.

“As the garden evolved it became an expression of joy, interconnectedness, yearning, sexuality, and defiance. The garden became a metaphor for the human heart itself.” - Sian Davey

The Garden shows us how creating an environment of love and acceptance can allow people to forget their inhibitions and partake in an act of community, which results in a set of images that seem to access their subjects with a depth that is hard to find.

The Garden photobook, published by is available to pre-order now.
You will also find images from The Garden hanging in a large-scale outdoor exhibition in the Photography Quarter, Soho

Deadfall by Max Ferguson ( )
Book launch and exhibition at 7th Feb
-
Deadfall is the second book from Max Ferguson and his imprint Oval Press. It is a photographic novel that weaves together literature and photography, inviting the reader to free-fall through the life, dreams, and memories of its faulted protagonist. We follow him back to a small village in rural France, apparently devoid of life, where he struggles to write, smokes too much w**d, and comes to terms with his isolation and insomnia. What is he running from and why did he turn up in the small village in the middle of nowhere unannounced? Deadfall continues Ferguson’s experimental approach to making
pictures, writing text and publishing books. The line between truth, fiction, memoir, fantasy is not always clear.

‘He smoked two for every one of mine, although I tried to keep up, and he must have been fifty years older. Today he asks me slowly if I’m leaving again soon. I say nothing and light a cigarette. Can I finish smoking this without answering? It’s not an easy question I say, which is met with more silence. We both know I’m avoiding the reason I arrived unannounced in the night
so long ago.’ – Deadfall

-'Deadfall' by Max Ferguson, published by Oval Press ( ) is available via the link in both parties' bios, as is the RSVP link for the book launch on the 7th Feb.

'South of the River' by Nico Froehlich ( )- Full interview now live. Link in our bio.

Nico Froehlich captures his home turf of South East London in his ongoing, long term project 'South of the River'. Using a mixture of documentary style realism and poetic surrealism, Froehlich celebrates the things he used to try to ignore when he was growing up. As gentrification continues its steady march across the capital, Froehlich shines a light on the working class community of an area in constant flux.

Seven Hills by Chris H***e ( ) is a portrait of a lesser-seen side of the city of Bristol. Away from the harbourside, Clifton Suspension Bridge and the historic old town, lies a city rarely depicted and yet home to a majority of Bristol’s residents.

‘Go beyond the hills and it is a different story, where housing estates have their public amenities cut and Bristolians watch on as the developers line their pockets. Having grown up on the edge of the city, I have watched the friction between these two worlds, between a prosperous centre and the disregarded fringes. This is a story which is of course not unique to Bristol, like many cities it is divided between the haves and have-nots, between the denizens and the gentrifiers.’

The photographs in the book range from portraits of adolescents captured fleetingly on the city’s fringes, to glimpses of the historic city centre, housing estates and nature encroaching on urban sprawl and vice versa. Each aspect of the city is democratically documented with an equal poetry and eye for detail, creating no separation between the different sides of an increasingly divided city.
