Shell Island, near Llanbedr in North Wales is the largest camp site in Europe (I heard) and it closed last weekend for the winter.  It re-opens in March next year.

For the Beyond Exhibition

Stephen is interested in exploring the physical connections that we make between two or more points to link systems together to provide us with power. These range from electricity pylons, to telegraph poles, water or gaspipes, satellites or wireless internet access points.

For the Beyond exhibition, Stephen wanted to approach his study from a different angle and to explore further the human element in this power dynamic. Power in our society has become defined by the ability to survive comfortably and to communicate instantly with other human beings. We have created an elaborate infrastructure to facilitate our need for this power, however time and time again its fragility is highlighted by a natural disaster or act of god. Such instances disrupt our carefully developed systems and pinpoint weaknesses within our civilisation.

Using a hidden, mystical light source, Stephen is creating magical scenes that focus the subjects' attention on the everyday object that they seem to be in awe of. The characters in the images all have one commonality; they are mesmerised by a mysterious, “divine light”. It is the source of power that so often goes unnoticed and unappreciated within our society. With this body of work, Stephen aims to highlight that it is also this power that we are not really in control of. Subconciously we are all becoming so reliant upon technology that we give commodoties, such as those featured in this project, a god-like status as elements that we are unable to function without.
