Untitled (something on fire), Type C print, 2011

The Royal West of England Academy has two open exhibitions a year. The first is an exhibition rotating the disciplines of sculpture, painting, photography and printmaking. It attracts contemporary artists both nationally and internationally. The second open exhibition, which is held annually, is the Autumn Exhibition. It has been in existence for over 150 years. The Autumn Exhibition is a mixed discipline exhibition, including painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and architecture. It attracts artists both regionally and nationally.

RWA Open Photography 2011

 

I have had three works selected for inclusion in The Royal West of England Academy’s open Photography exhibition this year.

Combining the work of invited photographers and open submissions, this exhibition will present contemporary approaches to photography in art and the broadest possible range of artwork involving photographic processes. We had over 1700 submissions of which just over 300 were chosen. – rwa.org.uk

Wide-awake Dreaming

My image, ‘Hand’ has been included in Wide-awake Dreaming, online exhibition at The Vermont Photography Workplace / PhotoPlace Gallery. It has also been included in the accompanying book which you can see here.

Dreams and fantasies often seem like the terrain of stories and poems, rather than the literal lens of the camera.  However, from the early days of the medium to the present, the capacity of the photograph to suggest, as well as to state, has preoccupied visionary photographers.  For “Wide-Awake Dreaming” exactly 1000 photographs were submitted by 187 photographers that conjured up states of mind, memories, emotions, metaphors, and the surreal through their subjects and style.
Juror Russell Joslin selected forty photographs for exhibition on the walls of PhotoPlace Gallery Nov. 2nd through Nov. 24th  and on the gallery website.  He then chose an additional thirty-five images for PhotoPlace’s “On-Line Gallery Annex.”  The selected work represents artists from 22 states, as well as Belgium, Canada, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

Selected for Erotica art prize.

 

 

EROTICA is a new art prize…one that is sure to be complex, different and possibly controversial. This is a challenge to artists to make work that explores all the elements of the erotic…to find a simple sensuality or to tackle highly sexual imagery that is not exploitative or pornographic.
