LAURA CHALK - UNTITLED

UNTITLED, 2008
DIGITAL LIGHTJET PRINT

THE IMAGE IS A METAPHOR FOR MENTAL BOUNDARIES WITHIN THE HUMAN MIND. THE FENCE REPRESENTS SOMETHING WITHIN OURSELVES THAT WE JUST CANNOT CROSS. FENCES ARE OFTEN PUT UP BY OUR OWN DOING IN ORDER TO CONCEAL OR PROTECT US FROM SOMETHING. THE IMAGE IS HOPING TO REFLECT UPON A BOUNDARY WITHIN OUR OWN MIND.
SOME BOUNDARIES ARE NOT KNOWN TO US UNTIL THEY ARE DISCOVERED, OFTEN SURROUNDED BY SOME SORT OF OBSTACLE, LIKE WITHIN THIS IMAGE. THE LONG GRASS AND HOLLY BUSH WITH STINGING NETTLES AROUND INHIBITS YOU TO EVEN GET TO THE BOUNDARY, LET ALONE TRY AND CROSS IT. YOU CAN SEE THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE BUT CANNOT GET THERE.
