Her practice explores the suburban environment with particular emphasis on the uncanny and the hidden human presence. This photographic work is part of a new series which presents suburbia at night; indefinable dark space contrasted with pools of artificial light makes homes feel eerie, streets lapse into emptiness and an overwhelming silence betrays the inhabitant’s secrecy.

“Having graduated from Bath Spa University in 2014, she lives and work in Solihull, taking her inspiration from the buildings and artificial street lighting of the area. To find more of her work, visit her website www.cargocollective.com/laurenhallart

JADE HOUGHTON, Who Am I?

10 of October – 10 December

You can come and view the exhibition at any time during our opening hours of 9am – 7pm Monday – Thursday or 9am – 6pm on Fridays.

Jade is a photographer based in Birmingham. Her work is focused on portrait.

This series shows how children see and express themselves in terms of identity. The use of hand painted pictures created by the children allows the audience to see how they, as children, see themselves thought self-expression.

Children’s portraiture is an area that fascinate Jade, which is how her initial ideas for this projects have developed. I wanted to present the children’s identities from their own perspective rather than from their parents. part of the experience of this projects was the interaction with the children and capturing their personalities as her goal.
