“My creative evolution in photography is driven by my observations, my response to the environment, seeing things, and a need to manifest this vision into a tangible form. Another motivation is my curiosity about image processes and how these processes affect my perceptions. 

I’ve been working to build a personal vision where craft and content fuse, teaching me to see the world photographically. Photography is the tool I use to search my environment. For me, the medium is as important as the content in making an image and it is an integral part of the image making process. I have explored traditional and alternative processes with the same passion that I‘ve explored my environment. Whether I’m working with the camera, in the darkroom, or on the computer, I’m looking for juxtapositions, relationships and transformations that create new perceptions, fostering an insight into the elementary nature of things.

I strive to make images where the ordinary is elevated to the extraordinary. I’m looking for things that I haven’t seen before.” By Douglas D. Prince

Plexus No3 Gabriel Dawe.

“Citing Anish Kapoor as a major influence, Dawe creates complex and often vertigo inducing spatial structures, which direct the viewer through space. Accordingly, they emulate the invisible forces which shape our existence; the social norms, rules and expectations which determine who we are. In this, Dawe references theorist Michel Foucault’s notion of biopolitical structures of power, which are used to control the individual. However, whilst for Foucault such structures were overwhelmingly malign, Dawe sees them more ambiguously.

As with architecture and clothing, which Dawe’s installations evoke, they can control and limit, but also protect and support. In giving visual expression to these webs of forces, the artist alludes to evolutionary theory, microscopic imagery and the patterns inherent in nature, drawing our attention to the ‘invisible order amidst the chaos of life.’ This stunning installation makes the intangible visible, giving form to structures which exist at the very edges of our comprehension.” Check out more from Gabriel Dawe

Alejandro Almanza Pereda.

Alejandro Almanza Pereda’s body of work comprises sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs and prints. The Mexican artist’s research is primarily focused on the field of equilibrium and precarious forces, bringing life to an allegory of our society and that which we perceive to be certain.

The objects he is most interested in are those found in daily life: forms, interior decorations, furnishings, and many other common tools. Through his precarious installations he takes away the presumed function of the chosen object, instead transforming it into a mere aesthetic whim.

Always maintaining a site-specific attention to places and contexts, the artist is able to create humorous and, at the same time, prickly critiques of human self assurance, showing us the superfluous and comic aspect of our beliefs.
