Women and Photography, 16 October - 16 November 2020
Magdalen Road Studios
The Greek word Nostos, directly translated means the journey home, or the yearning to return. We are interested in exploring the deep connection to the land and a deep appreciation that no matter where we are, we are experiencing 'Nostos'.
The image depicts a figure kneeling on the land and appearing to pray, smell, taste, bow or touch the earth. We see this moment as a connection with the living and breathing land, capturing the moment of merging with life itself. We wanted to get away from the idea of us as dominant over the land and explore interconnection, rather than an ego centred and anthropogenic position in which the earth is here for our use.
