BAIT Magazine - 'Online' :
My project ‘Studies in Still Life and Landscape’ (2017) was recently featured within the ninth issue of BAIT Magazine. The ninth issue was first released digitally in June and made its way to print this October. This particular body of work looks at the commonalities and boundaries between the fine arts and photography, which results in a visual style that floats somewhere in-between both practices. “The Still Life and the Landscape are two of the most traditional genres practiced in classical art. Whilst my own work remains contemporary, it has been inspired by various 17th century painters who practised these styles upon canvas. The compositions are soft and romantic but exploratory at their heart. Combining modern photographical processes with antiquated styles, the work raises questions on the authenticity and reality that a photograph presents.” Founded in 2017 by Amy Baxter in response to the Cambridge money-burning scandal, BAIT Magazine discusses controversial social issues through opinion pieces, art, photography and poetry. All proceeds from the ninth issue of BAIT Magazine were donated to Black Minds Matter UK, an organisation which helps connect families and individuals with free mental health services.
