SPLASH 1 - click on any image to ENLARGE

The images in SPLASH 1 seem at first to be quite abstract, yet close inspection reveals that they contain fish. Not real fish, but comical, rather badly made toy fish, photographed through a macro lens. Decontextualised and with the surface texture of the object unnervingly exaggerated, the images become ambiguous and psychologically charged. - Extract from exhibition pamphlet by Valerie Sutton.
