This work is by photographer, filmmaker and artist, Simon Edwards who is based in Crawley, West Sussex. The magic of photography was sparked in childhood when sat looking at his Dad’s Kodachrome slides using a handheld backlit viewer; photography has held his imagination ever since.
This work is a snapshot of Simon’s work and is the first time that he has shown his work in this way and on this scale. It contains elements of the everyday and is a response to the world through a viewfinder. It is a celebration of what is, an exploration of the mundane and that becomes extraordinary through the gaze of the artist.

COMING UP IN APRIL
A wry look at the types and number of plastics that make it to the ocean and harm wildlife. Each fish has a backstory; a taxonomy, habitat, affected species and lifespan (how long it takes to breakdown).
Tracey Graham’s artwork will be displayed in the Window Gallery at Unit 79/80, County Mall Shopping Centre.
