‘Sunshine and Shadow,’ 2008/2009

The metaphorical dichotomy of sunshine and shadow are representative for the human states of happiness and sadness, which are symptomatic of the traumatic experiences the individual has to face when confronted with tragic life events.  These are echoed in the installation, ‘The Shadow Factory’ which in turn, with the use of strong lighting creates ‘Product of the Shadow Factory’.  ‘The Shadow Factory’ installation won a major prize at the Atkinson Gallery 21st Summer Exhibition at Millfield, Street, Somerset in 2009.  Pictured below is Rachel Hartland receiving her prize from Len Green Director of Art.
