365

365 is a series
of pieces, each measuring 6 x 8 inches, which are daily meditations on
one
news image from the Guardian
newspaper. I have been making
them consistently every day since October 2006.
The impulse to make them is deeply rooted in my work as a whole but
really
they have grown from an increasing sense of desperation at recent
events
and a need to address the disposability of the terrible but often so
beautiful
and ambiguous images that arrive daily through the door.
When I
started making the series I intended to continue each day for a
year - now I see no reason to stop.
|
| 365 of these images
are being shown at Imperial War Museum
North from Saturday,
March 7 to Sunday,
June 21, 2009. |
|
Each
week in May Ghislaine will add a new painting to her display of 365
images.
Ghislaine will be giving talks about the exhibition at the
museum on Saturday, May 9
and Saturday, May 16 at 2.15pm.
Michael Howard has contributed an online
catalogue.
