Award-winning photographic artist Lilli Waters will unveil her latest solo exhibition, Coral Lands, from 20th June to 1st July at Saint Cloche gallery, Paddington.
Coral Lands features a series of nine photographs which were elaborately constructed underwater using coral, live rock and flowers. Combining these elements with bright colours and night sky backdrops, Waters has created extraordinary, other-worldly landscapes.
Waters said, "I wanted to create little underwater fantasy worlds. I'm often drawn to darkness in my photographs and wanted to play with colour with this body of work whilst keeping a thread of darkness and strangeness throughout. With these dream-like vignettes, I want to encourage the viewer to delve into their own imagination."
"The exhibition highlights the strange beauty and acute fragility of coral, and I hope it will raise awareness of the devastating impact that humans have on our oceans."
The works also feature stars and moons which were inspired by the lunar relationship and cyclical attunement within all nature. This cyclical attunement is also symbolic of Waters, who lives with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, a hormone-based mood disorder which follows a cyclic pattern where imbalances arise during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
Waters' work has featured in magazines such as Elle, Vogue Living and Real Living, as well as on the silver screen in Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed. Waters was invited to show her works as part of the Venice Biennale 2017, and was featured in this year's ABC documentary series Art Bites: Mirror.
