Portrait of Andrew is showing at the Collyer Bristow exhibition Me, Myself and I curated by Rosalind Davis

DATES :: 28th Feb - 10th June

CLOSED DUE TO COVID-19 - EXHIBITION - RPS IPE 162

The RPS International Photography Exhibition returns to Bristol in February to launch its 162nd edition, featuring work from 43 international photographers.

Selected from a worldwide open call and curated by some of the most influential people in photography today, this edition includes stark landscapes made during periods of extended solitude, alongside images created using pinhole cameras (made from apples) which celebrate community orchards. Spirituality, family, identity, and inclusion are some of the powerful narratives explored this year.

The selection panel included Shannon Ghannam (Global Education Director at Magnum Photos), Skinder Hundal MBE (CEO/Director of New Art Exchange), Yan Wang Preston (Photographic Artist and lecturer at the University of Huddersfield) and Cian Oba-Smith (Editorial and Commercial Photographer), who were joined by RPS Director of Education Dr Michael Pritchard. They selected an exhibition enthused with storytelling, reflecting the concerns of the modern world.

A series of photography talks and workshops will be programmed during February and March. The exhibition will tour to London, Yorkshire and Wales throughout 2020 and into 2021.

Portrait of Kizzy and Portrait of Dan will be on show.

The IPE is kindly supported by theprintspace.

OUT OF MY MOTHER - FOUNDATIONS exhibitions at Martin Parr Foundation

OUT OF MY MOTHER

A digital composite formed from a series of images I took of my mother and self-portraits. This particular piece achieves an exploration of two adult bodies – one that produced the other – a mother and a daughter. Using comparison as a tool to better understand what makes one different. A journey through the ageing eyes and comparison of one another. The physiological of being a woman in time. This piece looks at the foundation of the physical form.
