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.
