Embrace

Le livre

Across +160 pages Embrace showcases a brand new series of artworks created by the photographer during lockdown 2020. Close-up and intimate, this series of images reflects on the state of the nation and Rankin's own self-reflexive take on isolation and lock-down through the photography of flowers."Self isolation gave me an opportunity to really focus on this work as I'd imagined it. What's interesting about these images is how much they reflect my personal state of mind, whilst also in representing my approach to the world. In taking each picture I realised right from the beginning that I was treating them like a portrait. Whether that was of single flowers or groups, I couldn't help but give them characters. Search for their personalities and try to bring them to life." - RANKIN
