Shay Evans
Shay's interest in the Asylum began knowing that her Uncle, who has been mentally handicapped from birth, was once institutionalised for many years. Her Uncle; always in possession of a disposable camera, has the ability to 'snap' away at the most banal subjects. Looking through his photograph albums, Shay began to notice a reoccurring theme throughout; consisting of images of windows from the inside, looking out. The notion of confinement and isolation is still evidently present in her Uncle's memory, and this shows the idea of the 'barrier', that once deprived him of his freedom. Being influenced by these compelling photographs, Shay constructed a series of images within an abandoned mental institution. The light in her images creates an interesting contraposition; the viewer can either be allured or frightened by it, giving a sense of the unknown.
