Water Worlds: Reflections in a Tidepool
Water Worlds: Reflections in a Tidepool
Carol Ballenger
These Water World images were made in the shallow intertidal waters of St Ives Bay, Cornwall, and reflect the special light for which this area is known. As metaphors for marine habitats, from the fragile ecosystems of tidepools to the mysterious undiscovered depths of the ocean floor, the narratives they hint at are far-reaching.
Scientists are searching the deep sea for clues that may provide information about distant planets and moons in our galaxy which may have similar watery environments that might support life. They have named these extra-terrestrial bodies “Water Worlds”. Some of the images in this book may prompt us to imagine what these distant worlds might look like.
These photographs have taken on a life of their own and have come to represent the interconnectedness of all things - where we can see the universe reflected in a tidepool.
Review:
"This book reproduces all 28 images exquisitely and large enough for impressive impact. This slim volume is highly recommended and is a feast for anyone fortunate enough be moved by colour, form, and imagination."
- William Bishop, editor Inscape photography magazine.
