| Clive
Landen - the abyss |
"This
latest body of work is part of my ongoing examination of our relationship
with the natural world.
"Both
the landscape and the creatures which inhabit it are constantly
compromised by us in our need to survive and succeed in a world
where the desires to imprint our identity as the dominant species
are increasingly expanding.
"It
is not the focus of the work to present a literal account of the
effects of Foot and Mouth disease upon the farming community in
Britain, but rather to subvert our traditionally held views of what
constitutes landscape through both a psychological and tangible
experience within a 21st century context." - Clive Landan.

| Andy
Moxon - bhopal |
"In
May 2001 I spent a month in Bhopal photographing the scene and survivors
of the 1984 Union Carbide Gas Disaster.
"The
Gas Cloud on the night of December 3rd 1984 contained similar properties
and chemicals to Mustard Gas that was used in the First World War.
"Similarly,
just as the Great War soldiers were sent home to die (many taking
over two decades to do so), the people of Bhopal were paid an average
single payment of 15,000 rupees (£250) and left ‘to get on with
it’.
"Bhopal
remains the largest industrial disaster in the world. It still claims
lives each month. The medical cases of direct gas exposure are being
overtaken by new problems of ground pollution, genetic deformity
and high cancer rates. Perhaps this sorry aftermath and subsequent
relief attempts can act only as role models of human inefficiency,
bureaucracy and greed?" - Andrew Moxon.
