This exhibition explores the persistence of time, continuum, lifecycles in nature, the infinite ebb and flow of matter, and the personification of water as source. Artist Valerie Durant reflects on mortality, aging, and the human condition, touching on themes of loss and human fragility. The painterly images, incorporate analog and digital processes, including scans, reversals, and cyanotypes. This approach honours contemporary photographic practises, while referencing Dutch still-life paintings, memento mori, a reminder of the fleeting nature of life.
