While living in the US in the 1970s, Australian photographer Christine Godden created tender images of the people, animals and spaces around her. Natural and spontaneous, her work documents an intimate daily life – and an insight into women’s lives more broadly. Lesser known global artists are showcased too – Consuelo Kanaga is one, whose stunning photo She is a Tree of Life to Them is featured. Born in 1894, Kanaga worked at the San Francisco Chronicle from 1915, initially as a writer and later as the staff photographer, then became a member of the California Camera Club. In 1950, she stayed in an artists’ colony in Maitland, Florida, and documented the lives of black field workers living there.
