About the artist

Gina Glover is an interdisciplinary artist working in collaboration with the natural and human-made environment through photography and sculpture.

She experiments with alternative camera-less photography, bringing 19th-century technology alive using B&W negatives and date-expired photography paper to produce lumen prints/chemigrams, exposing paper to the ultraviolet rays of the sun and developing them with her own sustainable chemistry.

Glover also works in landscape photography; her book and exhibition, The Metabolic Landscape (Blackdog Publishing), produced with her partner and daughter explores the energy transition and focuses on the extraction of coal, oil, and gas alongside the rise in sea levels caused by melting of the ice sheets in the Arctic. 

Glover trained in Fine Art at Chelsea Art School and in Photography at the University of Westminster. She co-founded Photo Co-Op in 1979 in Wandsworth, which in 1991 became Photofusion Photography Centre, based in Brixton. She is a recipient of the Royal Photographic Society’s Hood Medal and the Medical Research Council’s Visions of Science Award (twice). Her receipt of Wellcome Foundation funding, with Cambridge University, led to her project Life in Glass, employing the scientific IVF photography of the Nobel Prize-winning biologist Professor Sir Robert Edwards.
