Fay Godwin   Photographer   Photographers at Duckspool

Beskrivelse:

Fay Godwin is known internationally for landscape and portrait work and, in particular, for her bestselling landscape collection Land, and also for, Our Forbidden Land, a hard hitting environmental polemic with 30,000 words of her own text. Land was exhibited at the Serpentine Art Gallery and Yale Centre for British Art in the USA and was extensively toured.

In 1986 Godwin was the first photographer to be featured on the South Bank Show. In 1987 she was Fellow at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television, Bradford and worked in colour documentary. She is the author and co-author of 17 books of photographs and has worked with several celebrated writers, including Ted Hughes (Remains of Elmet 1979, and Elmet in 1994), John Fowles and Alan Sillitoe.

The Edge of the Land was published in 1995, and explored several areas of the British coastline and changing populations with photographs and her own interviews. Since 1990, Godwin has been working in a less representational way in colour and close-up in (mainly) cultivated landscape. A major exhibition of this work was toured by Warwick Arts Centre from 1995-7, and in 1999 Godwin self-published an exquisite small artist’s book of this work called Glassworks & Secret Lives (available through Duckspool for £13.99 inc p&p).

Her work is held in public and private collections world-wide. Godwin was President of The Ramblers’ Association from 187-90. She is now working towards a Barbican retrospective in 2001.
