Hicks 2023. Suspended deposition #1-4
East Stour, Aldington flood storage reservoir, Ashford.
Two rolls of film failed, either in camera or the development and clear, blank strips were the result. I refused to accept that the river had denied me these 72 photographs. Therefore I immersed one strip in the East Stour, for two months, near the source at Aldington, Kent.
After retrieving and drying the film, I rephotographed it, and these are four images taken from one roll.
'I didn't take these photographs of the river, I took them 'from' the river.'
