A silhouetted crowd of people gathered around a large bonfire at night, with flames dramatically illuminating the scene. One person in the foreground holds up a torch or object beside a burning stone structure, creating a powerful and intense visual contrast between shadow and fire. Selected 15 – UK touring programme, June/July 25
A person with curly dark hair holds a circular object with red, green, and blue segments in front of their face, creating a colourful lens effect. They are wearing a patterned red, black, and white top and are set against a dark background with a bright light source to the right. The image has a double exposure or motion blur effect, making it appear as though the person is duplicated. The Wonder Club – sign up for 2025 programme
A still image from the film Gaps in the Light by Lila Dance, featuring a silhouetted figure bathed in deep blue light. The subject's face is tilted upward, their profile accentuated by dramatic backlighting. One arm is raised, fingers delicately poised near their shoulder, creating an expressive and fluid movement. The ethereal lighting and shadow create an atmospheric and emotive composition. Light Up Crawley Festival, 28 Feb and 1 Mar
A dimly lit underground tunnel with a curved brick ceiling. At the far end, illuminated targets are arranged on a stand, numbered '1' and '2.' A person is standing to the right of the targets, partially in shadow. The scene has a stark, atmospheric quality with contrasting light and dark areas, emphasising the tunnel's depth and texture. Underworld at Phoenix Art Space, 13-23 February
