Emma Wieslander

Ullswater, 2006. C-type photograph face mounted on glass, walnut shelf.

This photograph, one of a series in the exhibition, was taken in the Lake District using a Claude glass, a small black convex mirror used widely by artists in the eighteenth century to frame a landscape by reducing it to an ordered view. Wieslander explores Romantic notions in celebration of landscape, ‘where nature could be appreciated for its pure beauty and stability, without contemporary concerns for the environment’.
