    Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point in Africa; it is where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans come together. Notorious among sailors, the intersection of these two distinct bodies of water creates powerful currents and treacherous weather conditions. With Agulhas, Edward Dimsdale similarly merges divergent and at times conflicting ideas and techniques in printmaking and photography to create a body of images that are made vivid by their inherent tensions—restraint and abandon; austerity and lavishness; modernity and obsolescence. Using the most modern materials and developments in conjunction with one of the oldest methods of mechanical reproduction—the photogravure—Dimsdale deftly creates prints that retain the photogravure’s lushness and beauty of materials yet depart from tradition in their reduced, abstracted images.
