Abstract

Weaving together text with visual imagery, Rickett explores the condition of photography through subjects such as landscape, autobiography, memory, and language. The title, Milk is a Thin Fluid Thickly Filled with Opaque White Globules, references the idea of bearing witness to life in the most granular of ways - looking up close, questioning the visually apparent, combining affect, and the lived experience of the body with primary research into a range of subjects and contexts, (for example, an astronomical telescope at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, or the restoration of an Elizabethan Water Garden in Somerset). With landscape and the natural world as a backdrop, photography emerges not only as a tool for seeing and representing, but also for thinking, processing, navigating, and framing the world and its relations.
