Caldwell’s short fiction is a tender appeal to the reader, inviting them to embrace childhood nostalgia and connect with Bowe’s subject, a woman exploring light, time and her own personhood within the domestic space. For several years we’ve noticed photographers increasingly turn to poets and writers to respond to their projects, from Rachael Allen’s poems in Jet Swan’s Material, to Roger Robinson and Johny Pitts’ collaborative project Home Is Not A Place. (You can read a profile of Pitts in the forthcoming Spatial Awareness issue). Brea Souders pushed this image-text relationship even further, conversing with a chatbot in her book Another Online Pervert earlier this year. The first exhibitions of the autumn season are also upon us. Jack Pierson’s Pomegranates (at Lisson Gallery, New York, from 07 September) looks particularly interesting, a mise-en-scène installation of the Massachusetts artist’s life through rich Americana and intimate portraits. For the first time, Pierson’s watercolours and drawings will be included alongside his pictures. It’s never too late to call upon new materials to enhance the image.
