Fergus Heron: Woodlands, Rivers, Coasts

Bringing together colour photography made over a twenty-year duration including locations in the Highlands of Scotland and South-East England, the combination of work in the exhibition pictures different places of Fergus Heron’s repeated encounters with the natural world. His approach brings renewed attention to ways of picturing that counterpoint absence and distance with wildness and intimacy, proposing interdependent relations between human and more-than-human natures with photography. The exhibition consolidates research exploring questions of how photography can influence ideas of place beyond describing the appearances of landscape views, and why seeing with photography as a relational process, considering nature and culture in close relation, can be a way of resituating ourselves in ecologies we are deeply interconnected with.
