PENUMBRA BOOK FEATURES 'FITTING ROOMS' PROJECT


Join VERB Bureau for the book launch:

Friday 15th August 2014, 6pm - 9pm
A.P.T. Gallery, Deptford

"Following on from our art exhibition Penumbra, which was held in A.P.T. Gallery in Deptford, London in May 2014, this book is an exploration of the themes raised in the show, which stemmed from notions of transitory stages and states of uncertainty, as well as the contemporary issue of the difficultly in obtaining professional and financial stability. The Penumbra publication is a collection of creative and academic texts developing the discussion started in our exhibition further as well as acting as a catalogue of the show. The publication includes texts by: Rachael Smith, Bedwyr Williams, Greta Eacott, Anna Hussey, Lydia Julien, Collette Rayner with Daisy Lafarge, HE. Wiseman, Nella Janiika Aarne, Elizabeth Hudson and Olga Stebleva.

(M)OTHER INSTALLATION AT SHOW RCA 2014


Installation of (M)other at Show RCA 2014. Eight hand-printed C-Type Photographs.



Show RCA 2014 was a great opportunity to experiment with displaying my most recent series of photographs. Through the show, I made a visual relationship between fragments of domestic interiors and cropped sections of female skin. By hanging frames at different heights, this enabled the viewer to have a child-like experience of looking up and down at new surroundings.
