Patricia takes photographs from an aeroplane with Angus Macdonald as pilot. The result of this collaboration are presented uncropped and unmodified, showing startling, apparently abstract patterns on the surface of the land and sea.
Susan Derges' photograms are made at the other end of the earth by laying photographic paper on the sea or river-bed and fixing an image through the water by the flare of a flash gun in the moonlight. The pairing of these two extremes - the view from above and below - reveals an extraordinary and unexpected view of the world in which we live.
