Blue Bag project featured with OffSpring Photomeet
Many thanks to Mimi Mollica with OffSpring Photomeet & Northern Narratives for this wonderful introduction to their new feature on my 10 year project Blue Bag.
It’s a real pleasure and honour for us to be able to feature Marysa Dowling’s Blue Bag (2007-18). Her portraits speak to us and reveal the collaborative nature of Dowling’s work. From country to country Marysa engaged with her subjects armed with a blue bag, a camera and a honest disposition to engage with the many people she encountered. With references to plastic pollution and the idea of a global community Dowling’s coherent set of images managed over the years to maintain its relevance and freshness. The individuals portrayed seem comfortable to use Marysa’s stage to express themselves, their dreams and their vision. lLease see the link to the fearure for further text...
