Commissioned by the Bishop of Bristol’s Office for the Rt Revd Vivienne Faull and her husband Dr Michael Duddridge, on the occasion of Bishop Viv’s retirement.
With thanks to Chris Dobson for the photographs of the presentation at Bristol Cathedral (August 2025).
The Rise of Summer is a photographic landscape panorama depicting composite elements of the Bishop of Bristol’s garden at Church Lane in Winterbourne.
The striking use of the slash, marking time across the image, reveals the intersection of two primary photographs of the garden: the first was taken on Ascension Day, 29th May 2025, and the second was taken 40 days later. Between these two days, the summer equinox fell on Saturday 21st June.
