My image, Earth as a Planetary Landscape/ Apogee Earth was one of twenty images selected for the Photo Fringe 2022 OPEN Eco exhibition to be installed in an outdoor exhibition on Worthing beach in October. The exhibition will remain in place for six months.
This image was developed during my Amant Foundation Siena residency in Chiusure, Italy last year and with my DYCP grant from Arts Council England.
'Photo Fringe invited artists to propose a single image to engage audiences and help us imagine a greener, fairer world. Artists were asked to respond to the question “How can photography make a difference to the climate crisis?"
From 6 October, the twenty images will also feature on the Photo Fringe 2022 festival website where many of the selected artists have created additional online exhibitions. The selection panel for the Photo Fringe OPEN Eco was Steve Macleod director of Metro Imaging; Elizabeth Grieve from Land Art Agency and artist Emma Critchley.
Photo Fringe 2022, the tenth edition of the biennial, open-platform photography festival presents a vibrant mix of self-curated shows and work selected from open calls online and in galleries, cafés, pop-up venues, outdoor installations and other extraordinary spaces.
The selected artists are:
Rhiannon Adam, Louise Beer, Laurene Bois-Mariage, Anne Marie Briscombe, Bill Brooks, Chan Hong Yui Clement, Alex Currie, Sarah Grounds, Gwen Riley Jones, Frankie Knight, Olana Light, Mark O'Halleron, Eunice Pais, Alex Robertson, Grant Simon Rogers, Francesco Russo, Scott Stevens, John Walmsley, Mandy Williams and Elizabeth Woodger.
