Susan Derges
1955
Susan Derges produces photograms which are camera-less images, using torches, moonlight and flash to capture aspects of nature directly onto photographic paper describing the connections between ourselves and the natural world fusing art and science.
British born Derges trained as a painter before turning to photography and in particular, to the camera-less photography for which she is best known. In her art, Susan Derges contrives events to describe nature's forms, triggering imaginary, metaphorical lines of thought that link both the organic momentum in her prints and in the viewer to greater, unseen, macrocosmic forces.
In the River Taw series, for example, Derges uses the river near her Devonshire home as a lens, and fragments of ice, trailing ivy and debris reflected or passing through the water becomes the image.
Derges has established an international reputation with solo shows in London, Edinburgh, Cambridge, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo.
