 |
 |
 |
 |

This work explores landscape, environment, history and locality

Une Semaine de Bonheur |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
Ink-jet prints on newspaper - fragile documents showing photographs
of a vacationing family in their inconsequential pursuit of
happiness positioned against the news stories of the time. Conflicting
genres describe the quotidian. Global and local stories collide.
Meanings dissolve and re-form as the pictures of the family
reframe the official news documents. They, in turn, constantly
threaten to disrupt the blithe forgetfulness of the protagonists.

Close To Home |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| |
With Polaroid negative film Kate Mellor uses traditional silver
photography to explore roots and histories. Close to Home is
a series of portraits of the artists friends in the locality
where they live, the South Pennines. Borrowing from an aesthetic
of early photography, from an era when having a photograph taken
would have been an occasion, the friends pose in formal attire
as though in a 19th century studio.
