Translucence photographs

The 'Translucence' series serves as a reflection on the fragility of life, investigating Waterman's experience of mourning and loss. The collection of moving image works, 'February', 'Against' and 'Wisdom', interpret three instrumental tracks from Donna McKevitt’s musical score, 'Translucence' (Warner Classics, 1998), based on Derek Jarman's writing. The accompanying series of twenty image/text photographs elaborate upon the theme, drawing upon Jarman's books, 'Chroma' (1994) and 'Smiling in Slow Motion' (2000), together with literary quotations sourced from works by Kate Chopin, Emily Dickinson, T.S Eliot, Sylvia Plath and Christina Rossetti.
