Liz Chappell was involved with Wandsworth Photo Co-op from its earliest days in 1981 through its development, expansion and subsequent transformation into Photofusion in 1991. Her continued support of its educational and community projects led to her becoming an active board member of Photofusion's educational trust during the 1990s. Liz died in September 2005 after a brief illness.
The calm and courage with which she faced her death deeply moved all those who knew her. Her family has sponsored two bursaries which Photofusion has awarded to two photographers establishing their careers, resulting in exhibitions of new work. |

CRISTINA SAEZ
IN THE SOIL OF THE SENSIBLE |
|
| 18 – 26 APRIL 2008 |
|
| Cristina Sáez investigates the ways in which we identify and relate to our environment, with particular attention to the interplay between sensory experience, memory and myth in the perception of the landscape. In this new series of large format colour photographs she re-examines the myth of the forest in the Western imagination in relation to traditional notions of landscape, the picturesque and the sublime. The project is largely inspired by Tim Ingold’s work on the weather and the temporality of the landscape where he states we cannot see unless we are immersed from the start in what Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls ‘the soil of the sensible’: that is, in a ground of being in which self and world are initially commingled.
Cristina completed an MA in Photography and Urban Cultures at Goldsmiths in 2006 following a BA in Psychology at the Universidad de Deusto, Spain and moving to London in 2001. She was one of the first participants in Creative Connection run by Photofusion, London Printworks Trust and Raw Material. |

SCARLETT CRAWFORD
GIVE ME SOME CREDIT |
|
| 2 - 10 MAY 2008 |
|
| |
|
| Scarlett Crawford’s dramatic, staged photographs explore themes of how we view people, particularly young people, from ethnic and low economic backgrounds living within the urban environment. The issues that affect these people and the trauma they experience – both in reality and through the media – often have a secondary impact on the rest of society. Often using cinematic visual codes within her documentary style approach, Crawford asks us to consider whether the way her subjects are represented, and in turn viewed, perpetuates the problems further. The exhibition will also include photographs from her previous series ‘Same Shit, Different Day’ which were published in Tank and Vice magazines.
Scarlet graduated in BA Photography at London College of Communication in 2005. She is completing a PGCE
in Secondary Education at Goldsmiths. She recently travelled to New York and Rio de Janeiro to continue her exploration of how some major cities are increasingly suffering from, and being associated with, social problems
such as gun crime and economic/social deprivation. |
