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…
Curatorial Review of Fatma Durmush in Solitude
In I Seek The Image of Myself (2022), the work seems to chaotically spurl over isolation, ageing and what is left from loss. The abstract work bursts out like an explosion onto the composition and seems volatile, exploring the personal trauma that Durmush has been through and rising above it. The work itself does not…
Curatorial Review of Emily Carney in Solitude
Red Sky At Morning (2025) captures the extreme colour of the early morning sky as the sun rises. The scene is quite personal as it is set from Carney’s viewpoint and car- which puts the viewer in the same spot where she had witnessed this sky. It is quite an impressive moment as the reds…
