Susan Derges
Derges is a English photographer and was born in
London in 1955 while she was living in London she studied painting she studied
this at Chelsea school of art, after this she moved to japan and lived there
for 6 years, she then returned to London in 1986. Derges is a camera less
photographer and her work show the patterns of sound waves and the flow of
rivers. In the 1990s Susan came well known for the photograms she done of
water, the way she done this was using the moonlight on the river and large
sheets of photographic paper, she also used a flash light for exposure. A lot
of Derges work Is made during the night using the natural world as her dark
room, Derges work appears in museums including Hara art Museum. Susan done work taking pictures of the moon
she combined these with water and branch patterns exposed to sound vibrations
in the dark room.
This is a photogram by Derges, in this photogram is shows leaves of different sizes on water. In this photogram you can see clearly the ripples on the water. This photogram gives relaxing vibes and also has a calming mood, the main colours in this photogram is blue, light blue and a darker shade od blue where the leaves cover the water. Alot of Derges images are taken showing silhouettes and she used the night sky as her own darkroom, she will not be sure how the photogram will come out for example the light from the villages and towns near by and the tempreture of the water the photogram is made in. The thing that stands out most to me in this photogram is the ripples in the water because they are so detailed and make a unique pattern.
