Rebecca Peters
My work is influenced by subjectivism and existentialism. Using mainly photographs of myself I create work which is influenced by poetry and by my own thoughts, feelings and philosophies of a particular time. I use several motifs which occur regularly such as hands which are to represent creativity, eyes to represent inner self and well being and bee boxes which represent entrapment, frustration and control. Other motifs include wings, feathers, birds, stones, heads and feet. These motifs are poetically represented and often have several meanings placed upon them which may or may not be related to the motif itself. There is also an element of playfulness. I try to achieve work which has an unsettling yet strangely comforting feeling at the same time.
