Description
Gradually, we grew out of our past, explained away halos and beasts and cities of clouds. History, after all, is written by those that live in the present.
But it’s still there, that old world. Beneath our own, like a first coat of paint. Glinting through chips and scratches.
A dragon’s tail where the TV bumped the wall. Constellations in curtains and hand-blown glass. Ancient actors’ footprints in the dust of vacant stages. Echoes of old in the cracks of the new.
Lingermyth is a collection of those echoes. It depicts a world removed from our own, a world glimpsed in reflections and walls, in old paint and houseplants and long shadows on the ground.
Lingermyth is the product of hundreds of walks and thousands of photographs taken across Cornwall and Devon, U.K., and Costa Blanca, Spain. It was created over the 2021-2022 academic year as a final degree project for Marine & Natural History Photography BA at Falmouth University.
