By Kristy Gosling, MA Photography (alumni) - London College of Communication for Walls in Online Places Vol.2
My practice is largely concerned with time and its phenomenological relationship with the photograph.
These images are part of a series that map the movement of light and shade through my house during the Covid 19 lockdown.
During this time of extraordinary suffering [out there], I am experiencing a quiet disconnection from the world [in here]. Life is moving slowly, punctuated only by the movement of the sun. These little pools of beauty, which, I am suddenly afforded the time to notice are also tantamount to the coming of the shadow.
Sundial
On a Sundial by Jospeh H. P. Belloc
How slow the shadow creeps: but when t’is past
How fast the shadows fall, how fast!
On another.
Loss, and possession, Death and Life are one.
There falls no Shadow where there shines no Sun.
On another.
Stealthy and silent hours advance, and still;
And each may wound you, and the last shall kill.
On another.
Here in a lonely glade, forgotten, I
Mark the tremendous process of the sky.
So does your inmost soul, forgotten, mark
The dawn, the noon, the coming of the dark.
