Dreaming freely


The piece of art that I really liked from the Midway gallery was an untitled C-Print. It was made in 2004 by Saul Fletcher. Fletcher was born in 1967, in Barton, England. Saul’s work consists of compressed issues of human existence on scaled pictures. He uses a variety of things in his work, such as religious symbols, objects, models to capture issues of sexuality, spirituality, redemption, and morality. Fletcher has a whole series of untitled images and in different sequences to let them each tell their own unique story. He pictures the images in his mind first, then he crafts and edits the contents before he photographs the setup. He takes most of his photographs in personal spaces and uses his family as models.


I really like this piece because it seems a little chaotic but calm at the same time. It reminds me of broken glass from a vase being thrown around during a fight. The flower is broken, sad, and also very hurt. The piece also reminds me of a very emotional mind and just expressing my feelings very freely, no strings attached because everyone needs a quick getaway sometimes.

  1. This feels like a beginning, but really not much more, and is several hundred words shorter than it ought to be. I think the emotional read you get from it could be a jumping off place for a longer description, but without the picture here I doubt any reader would get much of a sense of what you are describing.

    Remember, too - you need to cite your research! Where did you find all of the biographical information on the artist? You need to list that or link to it.
