This is a photographer whose name I have heard before but whose work I am unfamiliar with. It takes us sometime to find the gallery in Albermarle Street made more uneasy by a shower of rain yet once we arrive at the Grimaldi Gavin Gallery we are warmly welcomed. Strand has done a book by Steidl and her pieces can be seen around the gallery; her work is based in photography but she constructs mechanical devices as well which gives them presence.
