As soon as I said that I didn't have a theme, I realised I did. This is the theme for the 2024 Scottish Mental Heath Arts Festival and I'm going to be working with the Jean's Bothy Photography & Wellbeing Group to produce work to the theme as well as providing a couple of stand alone exhibits that include as many of the Bothy Members as possible.
Some thoughts:
If you take two photographs of the same thing with a span of time between each, sometimes the changes in the scene may be barely visible but they will have happened.
Think of the traces left behind when people move through, life happens, something changes. Something may be visible but perhaps not th thing that caused it.
The people who may as well be invisible even though they are right in front of us - or the people who occupy our spaces when we are not there - cleaners, night drivers, those living on the street. You could photograph a bin that has been emptied. It is visible. When it was emptied and by whom...not so much.
Anyway, over to you all!
