Richard Smallfield, Jenny Tomlin and Hamish Macdonald - [v]erge

Richard Smallfield, Jenny Tomlin and Hamish Macdonald |[v]erge

25th May - 12th June 2010

Opening: Tues 25th May, 5.30 – 7pm

[v]erge brings together works from three photographers: Hamish Macdonald, Richard Smallfield and Jenny Tomlin.

Each is working within their regional environments, their similar concern being with the barely noticed, the fleeting, provoking a response to the commonplace.

The physical place is less important in the work of Macdonald and Tomlin; instead it evokes poetry or a state of mind. Smallfield’s is a documentary, yet personal take on back country roads, emphasising that this type of landscape is fast disappearing.

[v]erge hovers around the interaction of the artists’ different approaches which nevertheless form a cohesive whole, rather than a literal road’s edge.
