WORK OF MERIT AWARD Denis Roussel Awards 26/08/2024 rfotofolio.org Only One Water has won a WORK OF MERIT AWARD at the 2024 Denis Roussel Awards for international photographers whose work is based on the historical/alternative photographic processes. Juror Christopher Jameswrites about my work: “This portfolio represents… a blending of magic, creative human response with the barest of materials and collaboration with the natural world and what it offers. Your portfolio is so wonderfully painterly and expresses the element of gesture so well, an attribute that photography fails to achieve throughout most of its history. ...your driving interest in interpreting global environmental issues with this work is on point. It is particularly relevant that you are using water from the geographical location you are representing, along with whatever sediment or contamination that may be in the water… ...I especially love Only One Water and the fact that all of the water on earth was here, to the drop, when the planet was formed. So cool!” |
