This artwork is part of a Limited Edition collection of 12 featuring the official 2020 Australian Olympic Artistic Swimming Team. 

‘Ladies in Waiting’ is an intimate collection by ex-Olympic Artistic Swimmer and Fine Art Photographer, Francesca Owen. 

“This is not your typical Synchronised/Artistic Swimming shoot. This collection explores the antithesis of the sport, offering the audience a different perspective of the Olympic swimmers themselves; their individual expression and their unscripted movements and relationships with one another.  It’s not about perfect scores, it’s about the beauty of imperfection and the spaces in between. The games may be the final stage, though performers’ dreams can rise and fall before the curtain opens. That’s what I wanted to give a lens to. At times, like life in 2020/21, life is unsynchronised. In some way, we are all Ladies in Waiting.”

All pieces are printed on Giclee fine art paper, 300gsm textured cotton rag using archival pigments and finished with a hand crafted deckled edge. There will be an extra 10cm border for signing (this is in addition to your print size.

Artist CV is available on request.
