Silent, Dark and Deep
Issues of the gaze, and the notion of a potential observer run through all my work and are continued in the series 'Silent, Dark and Deep'. This work explores the theme in relation to forests and heath-land. Dark voids gape at the boundaries of woodland, presenting a palpable threat to the viewer as they hint at an unseen other and provide a metaphor for our instinctive anxiety of the unknown. The dark lures and repels the imagination of the viewer as the forest becomes a world of psychological uncertainty, heavy with the potential gaze of figures hidden or supposed, and an implied menace towards those that may trespass. The viewer becomes the viewed, potentially the object of unknown intent.
