Fay Godwin
National Media Museum, Bradford
Beautiful images - this is more like it. I love the fact that she was not afraid to position her subject dead centre in some of her images. Black and white film gives you the freedom to photograph on days that are not beautiful and clear with blue skies. A grey, cloudy sky works very well. My two favourite images from this exhibition are:
 |
| Copper Beech, Stourhead Lake, Wiltshire 1983 |
 |
| Royal Military Canal 1971 |
Are they my favourites because of the lines? Is this my love of Rothko showing?
Fay was meticulous with her prints - sometimes throwing away boxes of prints until she had a perfect one.
