Award-winning artist Ellie Daniels is considered one of Britains most significance contemporary photographers, known for her landscape images that challenge the relationship between humanity & the natural world. ‘ Fires 7’, a still from Davies’s multi-award winning, 2018 series ‘ Fires’, depicts a tiny, orange blaze, crackling in a clearing of dry, autumnal leaves & twigs. The surrounding, woodland copse
- the traditional setting of the mythic fairytale
- is shrouded in eerie, nighttime shadow, receding into the background against the flickering flames, which hold the viewers’ attention with the hypnotic, primeval intensity of the burning bonfire.
