Living Space

Andrea Shelton

Before the unfolding of recent events, my work had been focused upon how we exhibit photographs within our own domestic living spaces. The importance of this topic has become evermore strengthened now, as present day ever changing restrictions have raised the importance of personal living space evermore so. We have been asked to withdraw from social interaction, spending large amounts of our time within our own space.
Our Living spaces are charged with presenting chosen aspects of family life and loved ones’ consequently creating part of our own, unique, self-representational identity. Negotiating the interaction between physical object and emotional memory traces.These spaces represent, present day, inhabited, and loved homes. Yet looking into these spaces, without personal invitation, can evoke a feeling of awkward fascination and comparison.
Whilst we could choose whom to invite into our spaces and view them, we also diligently choose what aspects to present, curate and share.
