Join us for launch of “Imperfect” , a new book from photographer David George.
When I step into a new landscape my first question is: why does it look like this? For me, the answer reflects where we are as a society. - David George.
Sublime and ethereal. These are works of love and loss. Susan Andrews, London Metropolitan University.
Poetic, tactile, almost painterly. A meditation on endurance. Zelda Cheatle, Curator.
Breathtaking, magnificent and intimate at the same time. Seamus Murphy, Photographer.
Extremely moving. The colour makes my heart sing! Sandra Lousada, Photographer.
Exceptional craft, an eye for beauty - and a thoughtful approach in each picture. Michael Pritchard.
Both evocative documentation and visceral abstraction. An amazing series of meditations. Barry Lewis, Photographer and filmmaker.
In Imperfect, photographer David George brings together some 200 unpublished photographs – striking night-time colour images, and fine monochrome photogravures using the century-old intaglio method. It is the culmination of eight years’ work, drawn from more than 4,000 images made while walking hundreds of miles over carefully planned routes along the major river corridors of North-East England.
Uniquely, George has deliberately relinquished control over the final outcome, accepting ‘imperfection’ as part of his process. The result is a body of work of exceptional power and subtlety: a memorable record of land shaped by industry. Images that invite us to think about our landscapes – and what they reveal about our society.
