Artist Statement:
This new work deals with contemporary anxieties, it references both political crises and human frailty. It is about those fragments in time when all is not as it seems – at once all that seemed safe now threatens.
Investigating emotional connections to environment, physical vulnerability, and fear this work offers contemplative juxtapositions of the duality of life; cause and effect, joy and sadness, life and death, self and the other. Its juxtapositions offer the comparative refuge of nature, while prodding the viewer to question the relationships that may (not) exist.
It emphasizes the uncomfortable and fleeting positions we often find ourselves negotiating and allows the impossible – time to examine, calculate and hypothesize answers.

Danielle Walpole is an Adelaide based photographic artist. Exhibiting regularly since 2000, she has a Bachelor of Visual Art and Applied Design and is a co-founder and core member of the artist collective 'Shoot'.

“My work in 'Undercurrent' incorporates subtle surrealist elements to express unconscious perceptions. Symbolic objects placed within an urban environment portray desire and self-analysis in an everyday reality. Capturing also notions of serenity, danger and journeys, these images illustrate the complex nature of love, both for our self and for others.”
