Photographer Martyn Roberts' Wounds of Love

From Standing Room Only, 2:44 pm on 5 March 2017

These days when we see bruises - especially on children and women - the first thought might be suspicion they've been abused. Bruises, cuts and gashes - both real and artiticial - feature in the latest work by Dunedin photographer Martyn Roberts. He's created a body of 'wound' work for the Dunedin Fringe festival, called Bright Chrysalis, with the help of make up artist Zoe Armstrong. Lynn Freeman asked Martyn and Zoe where the idea for photographing injuries came from: Bright Chrysalis opens on the 10th of March at Mint Gallery in Dunedin, as part of the city's Fringe Festival.
