“Photographer Cara Totman and painter Arielle Jessop come together in a collaborative show to explore imagery found and created while working in and with water. In these pieces they examine the mediums in which they work and how each distorts, evokes and portrays meaning. Jessop’s paintings are interpretations of images captured by Totman while the two artists were swimming together underwater. Totman’s images are photographs of friends and women having their own relationship with water and themselves. The pieces have been chosen by the artists to be displayed together as an exploration of how different mediums communicate different emotion. Each artist has felt a connection to water and felt healed by that connection and their artistic process relating to it. This show is a celebration of how this natural resource can act as a guide and inspiration.”
