Still Waiting

Rachel is a hobbyist photographer who also makes a few comic poetic attempts. Her work explores the relationship between midlife sub-cultures and very long walks. With influences as diverse as Danny Dyer and Camus, new variations are generated from both explicit, implicit and extra layers.

Ever since she was a child, after holidaying at Butlin's Skegness, she has been fascinated by the essential unreality of the universe. What starts out as hope soon becomes corrupted into a carnival of chaos and trips to Sainsbury's, leaving only a lingering sense of what the hell has happened type nausea.

Her work is aloof and systematic, and cool, neutral imagery is used. By means of thought processes, she explores the possibility of escape from the corporate world. As subtle phenomena become frozen through boundaried and repetitive practice, the viewer is left without a clue as to the potential or the limits of our future.

I like the diminishing perspective in the row of trees, and the watery effect at the end caused by bright backlight.
The narrative appears unrelated to the photograph and I suspect is the product of Google Artist’s Statement or arty bollocks, or some such. But I could be mistaken, with your being an English graduate and all.

No one who went to Butlins at Skegness left without long-lasting trauma. I still have flashbacks to the rats swimming across the flooded tennis courts.

I love the narrative, but then I love the playful and slightly unhinged.
I am a fully signed up believer in your manifesto.

We must stick together in our mid-life subculture. We are all we have.
