Photographs by Trisha Ward
November 1th '06 - November 30th '06
How do we see beauty in the inanimate object? How do we see through the corruption and ugliness of a media stricken and industrialised planet? How often do we walk past buildings without acknowledging them, down corridors without engaging with them?
Presented here are a collection of photographs that differ in style shade size and meaning, that take the viewer on a journey through our largely industrialised society. We walk through spaces of colour and light where small objects become as meaningful as large ones, where metal and plastic can carry emotion, where buttons have more significance than ‘I shouldn’t touch that’, where an eyesore becomes something of prowess and wonder as opposed to drab concrete.
Trisha’s unique style and interest in the largely unnoticed world is one that will draw you in, even if you don’t know how you got there. Without aggression, but more influential appreciation and passion, the viewer has the opportunity to see the beauty in the inanimate object cunningly captured by the lens.
Quick bio: Scottish born Trisha is a recently graduated student from Edinburgh College of Art, before which she studied with the Leith School of Art. Throughout her studying at Edinburgh College Trisha has pursued a lot of freelance photography, mainly stills for small film productions and in clubs of live music. Her skills vary in different art mediums, but her power behind a lens is strong, individual, and strangely charismatic.
