Shadows, Relfection, Distortion: 2013

Shadows exist all around us, through our day to day, night to night activities and movements. We walk through the light and light up our darkness. We live, sometimes forgetting, being ignorant or just simply being accustomed to the shadows that follow us and envelop us every day. They can be simplistic or complicated, of beautiful lines and shapes, that contain nothing to be judged, nothing to motivate prejudice, hate, want or jealousy; they strip down our discriminating vain society into two dimensional forms, of light and dark, lines and shapes, the rough and the soft. Sometimes there are exceptions; shadows can also conceal and reveal, manipulate, warping and wrapping, over and around, textures and corners, ceilings and walls of our streets, bodies and homes, they elongate, distort, reach in and reflect your inner fears and inner doubts and the unknown and unseen.Perception is all.
