"The Dreaming Tree"


“Dreams are a composite of our daily lives, that stem from the events of the day, delicate articles that upon waking either disappear from memories or are remembered for their surreal aspects. The delicate nature of each transparent photograph echoes the fragility of dreams. The dreams used in this piece are extracted from the lives of friends and family of the artist. They each play important roles to play within the artist’s life. Audio and visual act as a synergetic force that draws us into the work, emotions associated with the dream are portrayed through the dreamers voices. The unconventional tree structure is a dream within itself, beautiful and mysterious, which acts as a representation of life.”

"Hope of Additional Light / Now We See Darkness"


"Peter Watkins’ photography can also be described as installation or performance. Neither the camera nor the development process are used as the principal means for his manipulations of light and colour dispersions; they are just witnesses. It is, rather, a direct manipulation of the landscape. Colour is laid directly onto the subject through projected light over the course of a visual event, which is then recorded, and removed and reproduced every time it is turned on or off. In this process, three sites of meaning are produced: the performance of its creation, the static past of the photograph and a living present. It provides both a direct and indirect engagement with the subject, and an honest, organic representational concept." (text: www.murmurart.com)
