Gillian McIver
The work is about a journey into landscape, into the deep heart of a place where the river is as wide as a sea, where skies are vast and time stands still. The series of images create a sense of nostalgia for the interconnectedness of man and the natural world. It is a voyage into collective memory, for all who have seen a film by Tarkovsky, his aesthetic is unforgettable. Gillian’s photographs are concerned with the experience of making a journey and trying to represent a deeper sense of the land and the notion of time itself. It is a journey where the boundaries between fact and fiction merge to a place where memories take on a life of their own.
