After attending Chingford Secondary Modern and High Schools, Wandor studied English at Newnham College, Cambridge, graduating in 1962. Fluviatile by Lindsey Adams, Michelene Wandor & Rebecca Fortnum, ISBN 9780955827396SIGNED ON THE TITLE PAGE BY BOTH LINDSEY ADAMS AND MICHELENE WANDOR (without dedication); RGP (Research Group for Artists Publications) 2010 1st ed with an essay by Rebecca Fortnum, no dust jacket & unpaginated (143pp.), text generally in decent order, boards just a tad warped & spine very slightly cocked, one small white mark to bottom of rear board.Fluviatile is the culmination of a 10 year visual journey; the artist Lindsey Adams' concentrated relationship with a small insignificantDerbyshire brook, has revealed aspects of this watercourse which are invisible to the naked eye. The surface, and multiple layers ofunderwater currents are photographed with an intense scrutiny and painterly sensibility. Michelene Wandor has written 'Ophelia: thepoem', in response to the sequence of images. In her introductory essay, Rebecca Fortnum writes: "At the heart of Fluviatile is aparadox that is both compelling and frustrating; the representation of something in flux by means of a 'still'. On the face of it, thedecision to photograph flowing water seems oddly perverse; a doomed attempt to capture a living event in an arrested moment. Yet on studying these quietly beautiful images one realises that this thwarted desire for movement possesses something quite mesmeric".Lindsey Adams is an award-winning painter and photographer, who has an established record as an exhibiting artist. Using her inspirational imagery, she has now developed a unique range of light-works and wall-mounted panels suitable for classic and contemporary environments, enhancing large architectural spaces and more intimate interiors alike.Michelene Dinah Wandor (née Samuels; born 20 April 1940), known from 1963 to at least 1979 as Michelene Victor, is an English playwright, critic, broadcaster, poet, lecturer, and musician.
