Sarah Moon: Ethereal and Elegant

View through Artsy
Ethereal and elegant, Sarah Moon's photographs are almost abstract in their painterly qualities. Texture, surface, seeing, believing, dreaming; it is difficult to summarise their content without pointing to the evident romantic and melancholic mood that emanates from the work. Moon - who came to prominence in the 1970's, breaks from the traditions of 'Fashion Photography' choosing instead to investigate a world of her own invention without compromise.
