SOPHIE LEWIS & EMMA CRITCHLEY's "Fear of Falling"


Sophie Lewis and Emma Critchley have an interesting exhibition of underwater photography at the Shunt Vaults, London.
"The Fear of Falling is a series of timeless, life-size underwater portraits that invite new ways to consider the profound experience of submergence. Exploring our changing relationship to the present moment when immersed, the subject moves away from the ethereal and floaty imagery usually associated with water and offers instead a more grounded and weighted sense of being. With a gentle nod towards the Industrial Revolution and making processes surrounding the period, the portraits pose the question; could the shifts in consciousness whilst immersed be akin to those experienced centuries ago?"
Here is more underwater work from Emma Critchley's site...
