Louise has brought many different aspects of her life together
and united them for the show. Most outstanding of all are the
photography experiments. The pictures also illuminate the very
special light of this seaside town. She has fixed the shadows and
flashes in her work, which reflects a life in a house which looks out on
the Channel.
The exhibition is in two parts, the first section of the show is
entitled ‘No’. These are abstracted portraits stemming from the
open shutter ‘Suffragette City’ collection. Louise is obsessed
with an open shutter camera technique inspired by the fact that
Suffragettes had to shake their heads to avoid being identified on
camera.
The second section of the show is about her ongoing affection for
catching the surreal effects of light, shadow and reflections on
the St Leonards sea front. Both sections have a painterly
photographic hand-finished style and relate to various forms
of protest and social history / experimentation from the past,
present and future.
