STILLEVEN is a culmination of almost two years work. The exhibition emphasises my playful approach to image making, incorporating intervention and jarring composition. Juxtaposition is employed as a tool for introducing a non-linear fantasy narrative; atomised fragments collide to invoke the mythology of my connection to my surroundings.
Although my photographs are an account of what I see and feel, the work also operates on a more universal level; hinting at our shared reality of dislocation, obsession, isolation, loss and desire. I have a recurring set of motifs that feature in my work; birds, hands, inversion and symmetry which symbolize freedom, death, rebellion and beauty in my personal iconography.
“Alana Lake is restless. She will not be what you want her to be. Refusing to be typecast, she does not fit into one of the half dozen or so categories which critics use to traverse contemporary art photography. She could easily fit into several; or all of them; and more besides.” David Evans, 2011
