Artist talk: Jem Southam

About

We are delighted to welcome one of the UK's leading photographers to give a rare insight into his work and career. Towner holds a significant number of works by Jem Southam in our collection, two of which are on show in New Eyes. These works are from the series The Shape of Time, made by the artist between 1994 and 2000. They show rock falls, river mouths and ponds across South England from Cornwall to East Sussex. Southam uses a large format camera to produce an extraordinarily high level of detail and intensity in his C-type prints.
