SHADOW GAZING
Shadow Gazing; a series of self-portraits presented as dusky toned fine prints. This study is intended to be intimate and revealing. The project uses raw, haunted shadow-play, with soft, ambient light within my home and personal surroundings. The consciously aesthetic approaches within each image allude to Carl Jung's archetypal principle of 'The Shadow' innate in us all. I have used a wardrobe of vintage evening gowns, which I have collected over a twenty-year period. Each gown represents a point of change within my life. The state of near dilapidation of each gown represents the points in time when I felt the need to recreate myself, leaving behind or repressing elements of social situations and myself that I found troubling. The underlying question? Even though I seem to have moved forwards, hidden away in a box and unseen, the gowns still remain.
