  • Look Down

    Look Down The 'Look Down' series was exhibited as part of INEXTRICABLE (2) an exhibition in the 2016 Brighton Photo Fringe Festival. The theme explores 'loanwords' in the English language - everyday words firmly entrenched in our vocabulary which have been adopted from another language. "Yvonne explores the connections between words and images. The photographs alone are intentionally banal and ambiguous. By using the history and meaning of words she highlights other possible meanings within the images." look (v.) Old English locian "use the eyes for seeing, gaze, look, behold, spy," from West Germanic *lokjan down (adv.) Late Old English shortened form of Old English ofdune "downwards," from dune "from the hill," down (n.) A sense development peculiar to English. Used as a preposition since c. 1500. Sense of "depressed mentally " is attested from c. 1600. shoe (n.) Old English scoh "shoe," from Proto-Germanic *skokhaz To stand in someone's shoes "see things from his or her point of view" is attested from 1767. lace (n.) early 13c., laz , "cord made of braided or interwoven strands of silk, etc.," from Old French laz "a net, noose, string, cord, tie, ribbon, or snare" and as preserved in shoelace (late 14c.), "piece of cord used to draw together the edges of slits or openings in an article of clothing". sneaker (n.) 1590s, "one who sneaks," agent noun from sneak (v.). Meaning "rubber-soled shoe" is attested from 1895, American English; earlier sneak (1862), so called because the shoe was noiseless. The INEXTRICABLE project has been developed and curated by Jenni Lewin-Turner of urbanflo creative .

  • Brain Landscapes

    Brain Landscapes "The ‘noise’ of persistent unwanted negative thoughts and emotions were almost impossible to shift; no amount of mindfulness calmed them. Sometimes painful, always doggedly loud, the relentless subconscious mind hurled fractured memories at me. Pictures would appear like a high speed self-flicking photo album, bombarding me with not just the image but the corresponding emotion, feeling or sensation. Happening too quickly to catch, pin down or make sense of. Brain Landscapes are a glimpse of that experience." Below are a selection of Brain Landscapes images, an MRI scan of Yvonne's brain and the resulting short film clip capturing the persistent 'noise' of unwanted negative thoughts and emotions. The film was exhibited as part of the neXus 2020: a multi-venue international art exchange organised and curated by Urbanflo Creative , with o nline galleries at Photofringe and Vrystaatkunstefees . 1/1

  • Brighton Folk

    Brighton Folk from Yvonne J Foster's 'Ice Cream Artworks' series Brighton Folk Get in touch if you are interested in commissioning a portrait Ice Cream Artworks The Ice Cream Artworks are inspired by the illustrative style of the early 20th Century, especially the work of artist Coles Phillips, known for his stylish images and signature use of negative space. In 1908 he launched his “Fadeaway Girl” style used in advertisements and magazine covers. In the Brighton Folk series the images become more detailed, with greyscale instead of skin tone and muted colour backgrounds. Lila Vaughan Laurence Becky
