This work considered landscape, environment, history and locality
looking at different ways of constructing place. This is reflected
by photographs taken of the modernist domestic architecture
in Poprad and digital drawings derived from contemporary and
historic domestic textiles

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.
