CELIA CROFT
The work I’m showing follows a personal journey of the last couple of years. Friends in hotel rooms, vast spaces, quiet moments, wrestling matches. There’s something really intimate i’ve found with photographing wrestlers, they throw each other across the ring but also there isn’t the intention to really hurt each other. I found the in-between moments the most interesting, after they had been thrown on the floor and the recovery of that. Putting that next to work which is close to my personal life has been interesting as it explores physical touch, with me as the outsider. Whereas photographs of my friends explores more of an unseen touch between myself and them.
I like stuff that feels a bit faded and left behind, places with a weird in-between energy, that is not quite a destination but a place you need to pass through in order to get to the place you want to go to.
I think that’s what I want my work to feel like.

My images show moments with friends, lovers and my outer community. They’re about fucking, loving, and rest. I have an impulsive urge to document my life as a record around me as its happening, it sits in a raw diary format. My aim by doing this is to create as little distance as possible between the camera, people in the images and viewer.

FINNEGAN TRAVERS
I’ve chosen to display works consisting of ongoing projects and individual photographs: village bell ringers, crows fighting on a beach in Ireland, my twin brother after he was released from hospital. Their significance lies not in the broader narrative, but in the gaps in between; the intimacies of a room, strangers and relationships. Cutting my naked girlfriend’s hair, and the bodies we leave in the grass.
It’s all connected.
The title ‘Clutching at Ornaments’ refers to the heavy sentimental weight these images carry for me. The idea of an image holding not only a physical presence, but an emotional weight as well.

‘CLUTCHING AT ORNAMENTS’ brings together the work of three photographers.
The show delves into each of the photographers personal worlds. In a diary like state the exhibition follows a journey through intimacy, touch and the spaces in-between.
All photographs are handprinted, and much of it has not been seen before.
