Finding Light: A Journey into Nature to Find My Soul
Until 06.07.25
Finding Light brings together a series of atmospheric photographs of the Welsh landscape, accompanied by intimate nature writing by artist and writer Brad Carr.
This collection weaves together image and written word as a deeply personal response to Brad’s experiences of both external and internal landscapes. Through these evocative and ethereal pieces, he invites the audience into his journey - one of transformation and discovery - offering insight into the restorative power of being in nature.
Described by the artist as ‘self-portraits,’ the photographs represent his emotional state at the time of their creation. They provide a simultaneous view of both the inner and outer world, moving between expansive vistas of wild landscapes and intimate studies of ancient trees and mystical woodland scenes. Each piece tells a unique story, capturing moments of reflection, solace and connection.
Having picked up a camera for the first time back in 2018, Brad Carr has been quietly refining his craft and developing his artistic voice. The art of photography, for him, is a spiritual practice rather than a hobby or profession. His evocative photographs of the Welsh landscape are imbued with deep significance, capturing the essence of peace, tranquility, and a profound sense of belonging. These images reflect Brad's personal journey, resonating with themes of healing and rediscovery after navigating through challenging experiences of domestic abuse and violence in his formative years.
Artist public talk Saturday 31 May - details to follow.
A sample of his debut photobook ‘Finding Light’ is on display with these photographs, with a link to preorder and a documentary film called The Visual Poetry of Brad Carr by Murray Linvingstone can be found downstairs.
