In this this talk Dawn will take us on a journey through the development of her photobook Sorrow. From the complexities of photographing on location, through to developing, designing and printing a book. She will show examples of how the book went through many changes in design and content before reaching its final form.
Sorrow is a book and exhibition that is an ongoing exploration of the complexity of grief and bereavement. Focussing on the death of her brother 30 years ago. The story is told through images from Rodgers’ family album combined with documentation of her brother’s death.
Alongside images of the hillsides and beach environments of Dorset, Sorrow was part of a group exhibition Disrupted Landscapes with Colin Pantall and Mandy Williams and Dawn also has work in the current Royal Photographic Society’s IEP165.
