ARTS Central MK announces the opening of a new juried exhibition, based on the theme JANUS – Horizons, Reflection, Water, Mirror, Buildings.
My work for the Janus exhibition was a response to an open call for work, around the themes described above. Both of my artworks have been selected to form part of a juried group exhibition to promote artists connected to Milton Keynes and raise the profile of the arts centre.
In the two works submitted to Janus, presented as digital inkjet prints, I was interested in the
way our viewpoint can affect what we make of a situation and how much an
illusion can create a form. The two photographs offer the illusion of a solid
form, apparently beautifully lit from within whereas the reality is that the illusion changes by altering the angle from which we see it. As in life, we change the subjects we thought we
knew just by changing our viewpoint.
The reflective qualities of the surfaces and the light they
capture might prompt us to think about how we reflect on the situations in our
lives. We may jump to conclusions about truth and beauty that are unwarranted
by the facts and just one small step in a new direction can enlighten us in our
quest to understand the situation more deeply.
