Skin & Meat Sky
Collaborative Chapbook with Klara du Plessis
 
 
I stumble over my love for the sea, rest my head on mountains.
I’d like to posit a theory that we’re all descendants
of headstones.

-Klara du Plessis, Skin & Meat Sky 
 

Skin & Meat Sky is a collaborative chapbook by Klara du Plessis and Kadie Salmon, launched as part of knife|fork|book's Inaugural Fertile Festival of New & Inventive Works (5th-21st August 2022)




 

 

 

 

Light's Trace
Exhibition at A.P.T Gallery (4th-7th August 2022)

Light traces dimensions onto flat surfaces, impressing moving scenes onto paper frames and palpable planes. Photographs stabilise the dynamism of vision into an experience that slows time, enabling us to extend our gaze. In Light’s Trace, Kadie Salmon and Caroline Jane Harris manipulate their photographic equipment’s technical intentions, embracing them as modes of artistic expression that foreground the hand of the maker and undermine representationalism.

'Restlessly Idling'-Interview with Anneka French for Photomonitor
 
"Kadie Salmon is best known for large-scale black and white photographs, hand-tinted to give a dream-like luminosity, sometimes folded into sculptural forms. Salmon’s works feature figures in remote landscapes, and she uses her own body as model, often repeated multiple times.

In response to the Covid-19 lockdown and a postponed solo exhibition, Salmon recently launched a digital publication covering works from 2014-2020 in collaboration with New Art Projects. Anneka French finds out more."
