Imperfect

In Imperfect, photographer David George brings together some 200 unpublished photographs - striking night-time colour images, and fine monochrome photogravures using the century-old intaglio method. It is the culmination of eight years' work, drawn from more than 4,000 images made while walking hundreds of miles over carefully planned routes along the major river corridors of North-East England.

Uniquely, George has deliberately relinquished control over the final outcome, accepting 'imperfection' as part of his process. The result is a body of work of exceptional power and subtlety: a memorable record of land shaped by industry. Images that invite us to think about our landscapes - and what they reveal about our society.
