Leanne Shipley

Leanne Shipley'Unsettled' 2015
Shipley is a photographic artist with a keen interest in Fine Art.Inspired by artists such as Roger Ballen and Joshua Hoffine, Shipley has been exploring the realms of fear, phobia and night terrors. Shipley is fascinated by the extreme and overwhelming emotions provoked by the anxiety created by these phenomena.
Interested in the psychology behind fear, and feeling that when portrayed as an art form, fear stems from the subconscious, the artist has created a two piece installation to house a series of images designed to awaken dormant childhood memories and create a feeling of instinctive unease from within the viewer. The first stage of the piece is intended to gain the interest of the viewer and generate certain emotions, leaving unanswered questions about the intention of the piece. Curiosity will naturally evoke an urge to return to view the second stage which will present the images in a contextual environment,  re-awakening the emotional responses. 
Destination: Life is an adventure.
