Draft Copy of In Solitude
Here is the draft copy of in Solitude below. Interview artists come after non-interview artists as adding interview pages makes the entire publication layout to be shifted slightly as the pages are offset from the centre (think of a 2-page spread; you need a part of it to be away so that the content does…
Curatorial Review of Fillia Barden in Solitude
She Considers a Field (2024) is a personal work as Barden relates to the woman depicted in the artwork- where the woman is standing at the start of a new season balancing art, family, and faith together. The composition seems to have a triangular structure that guides the viewer from the top to the woman,…
Curatorial Review of Siyu Zhong in Solitude
Whispers of a Place No Longer Ours (2024) has impressively captured the perception that a place known from our childhood has become blurred once returning. It is connected to us, yet also feels as though there is no connection. Within the solitude of understanding this place – the atmosphere of it has captured the memories…
Curatorial Review of Francesca Texidor In Solitude
Waiting Table (2024) takes a mundane object – the chess table with four chairs which are symmetrical and rigid against the field that is open and uneven. This then creates a purpose for the furniture to contrast with this environment and surrounding creating and potentially reinforcing a feel of solitude within this space- or perhaps…
Curatorial Review of R. Prost in Solitude
The series of works that Prost is showcasing in this publication have stripped the language to its simplest form, as single words or just letters, as in the case of Identity. In Rose, the first letter and the third letter have been swapped, changing the word to Sores. The jagged sides of the two rose…
Curatorial Review of Alice Finnerty in Solitude
Brooklyn Branch (2024) presents two trash bins together in front of a wall with two iron bar windows that frame the two bins together and draw the viewer towards them. From the bin on the right, there seems to be a tree branch coming out, with some surviving cherry blossoms still clinging onto the dead…
Curatorial Review of Crisia Constantine in Solitude
Untitled (parts of me) is a monochromatic black and white photograph sharing a very personal moment in which the subject is cutting their nails. This act is usually something that one does as a routine usually in silence and solitude. The subjects gaze down to the nail cutting allows the viewer to concentrate on the…
Curatorial Review of Eva Marschan-Hayes in Solitude
Day Dreaming (2025) is a mix of digital, photography, and drawing- in that it is a journey of the man and his dog towards a daydream while in solitude on a walk. A golden path emerges before the man and the dog, bringing them towards this light of their imaginations, leaving the physicality of this…

Curatorial Review of Fiona Lynn in Solitude
Cold Hands (2024) is a pair of two photographs (seen above and below each other in the publication) that are thematically about abandonment, neglect, and desolation in a place that may have a spiritual presence to them. The atmosphere in this haunted house creates a feeling of uneasiness, intensifying the feeling of a presence within…
