Alan Shepherd
Over a period of time my work has evolved and thrown up some recurring themes which are more deep set in my mind than I had realised. What started out as a study of a bright new gay life has increasingly transformed to reflect darker thoughts of scrambled relationships and of an approaching dread of going off the edge of the life plan I had once assumed, into uncharted territory as I approach my 40s. Through images of myself and my friends I am trying to examine these feelings of release and of freedom which are ultimately coupled with feelings of instability and isolation.
