Photography

Photography forms an important part of Susanna Heron's practice. The following extract is from the Artists Book Shima: Island and Garden with which a series of 12 cibachrome photographs are associated.

Unlike documentary photographs or representations of the past, some of the photographs have an independent existence. They seem to be taken at a moment when something has happened and is about to happen, a shifting moment full of potential. They are often a surprise to me, I saw one thing and was given something else. They generate ideas and continue to inform me. Others are simply a presentation of a place, this place, how it is.
