Venice Series

For the Venice work Lesley chose to look closely at memorable aspects of the townscape that suggest a sense of magic, scale and grandeur. There is an air of mystery and of multiple histories merging in these old and crumbling iconic buildings. All around is the reflected light of the canals and lagoon that softens our experience of decay and any suggestion that these structures could sink into the rising water.
Looking at the real and imaginative, Lesley explores a range of ideas that include fragility, harmony and faith, loss, beauty and hope. Her remarkable poignant images have a gentleness and depth that that again go beyond the usual often pretty and quaint descriptions of Venice. The beauty and resonace of her images are of a different kind, for they contain an understanding that all is impermanent and its beauty therefore all the sweeter.
