Corke Gallery update 12/3/11

Since the last update there has been a lot of progress in the organisation and development of the exhibition. We have established into a 4 person show, adopting the welsh talents of Lois Rogers and Angharad Rhys. The title of the show, ’Roots’, has been decided as it can be adaptable to each of our projects, even though they are so different. My project is inspired by my new roots that explore the city landscape, and Reuben’s is the emotional roots of his creativity. Whereas Lois and Angharad has a more direct connectivity in their relation to their welsh roots.

I have created 2 posters for the publicising of the exhibition. One filled with the information requested by Nic Corke, including images, statements, contact details. Ect…

There has also been a Facebook event created which we have all invited our friends and family to…

This coming week will see the development of my final images and the framing process, ready for the opening on Tues 22nd March in just over a week. 

My project statement for the exhibition…

The modern world has mixed opinions of the rate of industrialisation. Some argue that the convenience of the city gives the worthless man opportunities, whereas others argue that it destroys individualism, and creates a wealth of waste, pollution and exploitation.
As a new student moving from a small town in Cheshire, my work has been heavily inspired by the continuing beauty of the Liverpool city landscape; from the towering architecture that forms an iconic identity for the city, to the derelict textures within the urban decay that has corroded throughout time.

In my latest project, I have used photography and computer manipulation to create a series of digital montages that convey a narrative within the diverse images of the cityscape.
