Isobel Denton is an artist I have had the great pleasure of working with across many years. She has a deep integrity in a material based practice, very alchemical in tone and methodology, and indeed she makes her own special magic in her art. To photograph her work was an opportunity to place a detailed and curious eye onto the intricate elements of wonder within the detail of all she creates. The photos themselves give an alternative access to the work, as well as a factor of preservation. Some of these woks have their own time-based or physical sensitivities, but the photograph allows an engagement locked into that moment of time with the work, it's very presence in the moment, allowing us to look deeply for as long as we like.
