Imperfect (Paperback)

Paperback. In Imperfect, photographer David George brings together some 200 unpublished photographs - striking night-time colour images, and fine monochrome photogravures using the century-old intaglio method. It is the culmination of eight years' work, drawn from more than 4,000 images made while walking hundreds of miles over carefully planned routes along the major river corridors of North-East England.Uniquely, George has deliberately relinquished control over the final outcome, accepting 'imperfection' as part of his process. The result is a body of work of exceptional power and subtlety: a memorable record of land shaped by industry. Images that invite us to think about our landscapes - and what they reveal about our society. Two bodies of work meet in Imperfect: colour photographs made at night without artificial light, and photogravures printed from plates. Built through repeated walks along the North-East of England's rivers, the book explores landscape as economically pressured terrain - and the beauty and unpredictability of imperfect control.
