The project explores ritual, tradition and identity in islands of the Venetian lagoon, Sicily and Sardinia. Photographed amongst crumbling stone, dramatic rocks and rural fields, the portraits capture traditional costumes and masks worn during festivities and celebrations on these Italian islands.
The Guardian
'Tomlinson balances the otherness with moments of calm beauty, not just elemental landscapes but portraits of striking young women... As with the landscapes, they provide a breathing space from the strangeness and wonder.'
