From Saturday 15th September to Sunday 4th November Rivers and Streams: Photography by Jem Southam, an exhibition at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen at Bovey Tracey. FREE. Open daily 10am-5.30pm. What is a river? This superficially simplistic question led Jem Southam, one of the UK’s most respected photographers, down a three-year investigation of Devon’s River Exe. Southam has produced strong and exciting new work observing and documenting the body of water running from Exmoor in the north through Exeter to the Exe Estuary in south Devon. Part of Southam’s photographic practice involves revisiting sites over long periods of time to capture changes of seasons, atmospheric conditions and effects of time. This body of work explores elements of the River Exe’s extensive network of streams, confluences and the estuary, creating a series of photographs that explore how one defines a river. Images from the series Rivers and Streams were taken on a large format camera. The exhibition includes large-scale prints revealing the minutiae of information and detail captured by this format, contrasted with intimate 8 x 10” contact prints of a domestic nature. Telephone the Guild on 01626 8322233 or see more on the Devon Guild website
