HUMAN
By examining the trace of ‘humanity’ or the ‘ideology of humanity’, the work looks at portrayals of the human figure, from various ages and moments, exploring the tenuous link to what being human means as well as who it applies to. From strangers, to family and friends, the aspect of being human is conveyed and examined, portraying the fragility, calm and brittleness of moments of memory, whilst exploring the trace roots and threads between what it means to be actually human.

WE BUILD CITIES
Paved observations of a skyline pedestrian; We Build Cities is a collection of multi-plate photographic etchings from an ongoing personal project of discovery and introspection. These imagined landscapes and simulated skylines behold a constructed world without its human inhabitants, contemplating the fleeting nature of our time on this planet, yet that which we build will remain.

 

Green Door’s Keyhole Gallery shines a spotlight on local printmakers, showcasing original prints and celebrating new work being produced directly from our studio.
