Jerwood Photography Prize winner Martina Lindqvist has just joined mururART and will be up on the site as the new 'artist of the week' this coming Friday. We are hugely excited about this recent graduate from the University of Westminster. She received First Class Honours from her degree and as her award from the prestigous Jerwood Photography Prize clearly shows she is rapidly creating a stir.

Originating from Finland her work often addresses nostalgic memories of places and sights as she battles to frame them in her photographs. The series we will be exhibiting on murmurART is called 'Ragskar Island' and is the same one she won the Jerwood Photography prize with.

It is based upon an island that she used to spend holidays on as a child with her family. Stunning, claustrophobic and otherworldly light is a major feature in this series. What is so remarkable about the work is the way she blends both her photographs and her miniature models of the landscape together to make the final image.

The Jerwood Space is an excellent venue and one that supports emerging art passionately. Visit their site here for more details.
