Caroline Underwood:
A Walk in the Park
3 October 2016 - 8 January 2017
Caroline Underwood is interested in exploring light and darkness and the meditative and restorative potential of time spent being in nature.
Employing a diverse range of techniques across the various disciplines of drawing, painting, printmaking and digital media, she contrasts and combines both traditional and experimental processes in her studio practice.
Her responses to landscapes, buildings, moments and memories are developed in series or as installations, representing the way we experience our environment – not just looking at it, but moving through it, being in it.
The work selected for Gallery Below was created as a result of time spent walking or running through parks around central and South East London.

London USA
12 May 2017 - July 2017
Prices
£175 for large framed print(£140 unframed)
£125 for small framed print(£100 unframed)
Colour photographs of America taken and printed by the artist - the old-school way; using film in a medium format camera, and then printed by the artist in a darkroom - In other words totally analogue from start to finish; nothing digital.
What started as a desire to experience all things American but away from the tourist spots, looking for the unusual with trips along the back roads of America, has morphed into a more specific theme;
Staying on the back roads of America, but allowing my travels to be defined by only visiting small 'one-horse' towns with a British name, or in this case a recognised part of London - Peckham, Wimbledon, Hackney, Chelsea etc. These sit alongside some more iconic 'Americana' images found on my numerous travels over the past decade or so.
Regarding my chosen medium, medium-format film gives a sharper quality or 'grain' than the once ubiquitous 35mm, and I prefer the quality and the process of printing from film to working in digital, which are, however much the technology keeps leaping forward, in the simplest sense still pixels laid out next to pixels, which I feel is too 'mathematical' to reflect the real world. I graduated with a degree in photography in the mid 1990's, which might explain my enduring preference to analogue over digital, when digital was still in its infancy. While all my work is now digitally scanned, I still prefer the 'organic' feel of film.
