Eleven Ways of Being

 

WAYS OF BEING #1: Tudor Rose ll

In the days leading up to WAYS OF BEING, my current exhibition, I did an impromptu photo shoot with my partner in crime, Shane Jones. A spontaneous exercise that started - and continued - in fun, it provided a welcome distraction from pre-exhibition jitters.

Until then, I hadn’t recognised the close to human scale of most of the works. In Shane’s first shots, the painting almost appeared to be an extension of my body, incidentally providing another take on the exhibition’s overarching theme. Over the next day or two, in between exhibition prep, I selected a few more paintings and shopped my wardrobe to complete the picture.

I thoroughly enjoyed my photographic collaboration with Shane and hope you’ll equally enjoy the results.
