Finalised work and accompanying text for our series: Fear & Reason

Fear & Reason is an obscure visual narrative.

The marriage of reason and nightmare that has dominated the 20th century, has given birth to an ever more ambiguous world
An extreme metaphor for an extreme situation

From The Introduction to Crash by J.G Ballard

This succession of images depicts the actions of, Märtha M. Meek, she is a murderer.
Five diptyches are presented. These contain; from the right-hand side, a photograph: the murder, and on the left a drawing: her male victim’s persona. Each diptych contains a small statement from Märtha.
A large introductory portrait of Märtha is presented on canvas. This is a visual representation of her psyche. Her loves, hates, fears; her past, her present and potential ‘end’. A final singular image will conclude the series.
