Aimee Kirkham
Wild Women
Having worked in the wedding industry for the last 14 years, Aimee Kirkham joined the MA Photography at the University of Gloucestershire to develop her Fine Art Photography and explore the connection between people and the landscape. She primarily works in digital format, but has a keen interest in analogue and historical processes and will often incorporate these into her work on contemporary issues. Her current project, Wild Women, has taken her on a two-year journey across the UK; she intends to continue and deepen this project over the coming years. Swimming has always been an integral part of Aimee’s life, but in becoming part of a wild swimming community she became interested in the motivation of other swimmers and the experiences of the individual. She found commonality in the liberation the swimmers felt and the cathartic quality of the water; a place to be lost in one’s innermost thoughts and desires. But it also the acknowledgement of the dangers the waters hold. This work presents a series of images that waver between delicate and threatening; ones that visualise the liminal space that we occupy in water. It represents a journey of belonging, vulnerability, unguarded moments, tension, tranquillity, growth, emotions, conflict and transcendence.
