Photographer Hazel Fitzpatrick’s first solo show.
Hazel has been working exclusively in the medium of photography for the last four years. Her concerns lie in scratching the surface of an image and unearthing what exists beyond the tangible. Hazel manipulates her work in digital post production, to create depth, a space, in which a narrative is drawn out in each individual image. Employing actions such as scratching, layering and filtering light in order to discover and reveal an unseen view. The intimate, lost moments, a reflective nostalgia, these things that are often hidden within a photographer’s subject. It is important that this process does not dictate a specific reading of the image in a prescriptive way, but creates a gap, a springboard for many interpretations. Hazel’s starting point for this body of work was to revisit unwelcoming memories, places and situations from her past in order to create new meanings. It is an attempt to begin a new a dialogue within specific memories, to start again with an image that felt as if it was fixed in her mind.
