shifting foundations (ego vs shadow)
From the series “Lit by the Dark of the Shadow’. This image was the grand-daddy of them all – on the wall at 1300×900mm, whilst the other 13 were 700×500mm.
I chose to do this one large as it pretty much summed up everything I wanted to address with this show. Journey and exploration, choice and consequence, and polarities such as ego and shadow, light and dark, positive and negative. We each present a side of us to the world that is bathed in light, goodness and fertility. We hide or suppress our darkness, our ugly bits of which we’re ashamed. My question within this show is, if we each acknowledge or experience our own shadow are we not more knowledgable about ourselves, and consequently the world we exist in?
shifting foundations (ego vs shadow) belongs to the following groups:
Masterpiece: Photography, Practising the Dark Arts and Sydney

Fantastic work Vansk. I so agree with your comments – sometimes it’s only by acknowledging our darker side that we can truly understand ourselves and others fully which enables us to progress forward.
Robert Knapman
This is Fantastic. Possibly my fave but they are all great. Everythign works wonderfully here – the line, colours, shadows, details and more details. So much to get lost in and emerge from. Congrats too on your exhibition and success.
