Michelle Sank – The Submerged

Schilt Publishing is proud to announce the exhibition and book launch of Michelle Sankʼs photographic series The Submerged at Hotshoe Gallery, London.

The Submerged was produced within Mid-Wales in the hilly and coastal areas around Aberystwyth, a town existing at the end of a railway line. The imagery portrays a grittiness evident in the geological and architectural fabric of the place, something often reflected in the dramatic landscapes and human performance within.
