For Everything a Reason
The title image of this exhibition is from a photograph I took of some text stencilled on a wall down a side street of a UK town. When I took the photograph I did not know why I was “drawn” to the text which I see more as a question than a statement, without expectation of any answers at this point.
Most of the images in this series were ones that I realised that I was drawn to over a period of time, from newspapers, magazines,the internet and social media and which represented aspects of events that are happening in the world - e.g climate emergency, war, displacement and mass migration. Although I did not intentionally set out to produce a series of work on these themes, it became a visual expression and outpouring of my grief.
I hope, through manipulating and re-contextualising these images using my artist’s palette of digital and analogue technologies, I am also able to represent and be reminded of the frailty and fragility as well as the strength and resilience of our world and the human spirit.
