Peep Show
Vicky Wetherill
11 April - 4 May 2002

Fascinated by the concept of the peep show, Vicky Wetherill's work captures its very essence - its titillation, its voyeurism, its secretive nature. This is a world of shadows - of life on the margins - revealed through glimpses that are both provocative and symbolic. Voluptuously curtained neon-lit doorways, with their strategic gaps and seductive folds, become symbolic of the sex act. Footprints, shadows and patches of light provide further visual clues as even clientele become half-seen, anonymous markers of this voyeuristic process. The physical scale of the exhibition provokes a powerful response through life size colour images and tiny intimate lightboxes that compel the viewer to peep.

A 64 page hardback book of the same name, published by Dewi Lewis Publishing, accompanies the exhibition.

All work is available for purchase.
