The River Taw (Hazel), June 16
A luminous and ethereal work by Susan Derges, *The River Taw (Hazel), June 16* captures the fleeting interaction between light, water, and the natural world through a unique dye destruction photogram process. Created directly in the River Taw at night, the large-scale image records the movement of water and the silhouette of overhanging hazel branches without the use of a camera. Flush-mounted to enhance its glowing, immersive quality, the work blurs the boundary between photography and nature, presenting the river itself as both subject and instrument.
