‘Out of Sight//Out of Mind’ is a portrait exhibition project in aid of the 2041 Foundation.
The Polar Regions are, for most of us, “Out of Sight and Out of Mind”; they are beyond our reach, and thus, our only contact with them is through polar explorers, educators and scientists – the ‘public face’ of these regions.
The Out of Sight//Out of Mind project aims to raise awareness of the problems faced by the Polar Regions and amplify the work being done to research these fragile environments and lessen the impact of climate change.
By depicting a range of representatives of these regions with their eyes closed, I hope to create a thought-provoking and affecting exhibition that will capture the attention of viewers, asking them to dig a little deeper and find out more about the work being done in these mysterious and magical regions of our planet.
