The name Tartarus refers to the place of torture and punishment in Greek mythology. Most of the Titans and the fifty female Danaides were imprisoned there, and many others too. The dead stumps and twisted, split or hollow trees of Epping Forest bear witness to the forestry practice of pollarding. Up until the 1870’s the wood was cut and sold over and over again, exhausting the tree until sometimes only a hollow stem was left. These scarred trees and stumps are like magnificent sculptures to me, screaming in silent agony but also still standing mighty proud. In this series I wanted to give them space and light, and let them tell their own tales. Hyperion was a Titan and god of heavenly light. He was thrown into Tartarus along with his Titan siblings for being regarded as a threat due to his strength.

Bridging the gap between photographic and painterly aesthetics, I use a vibrant colour palette of lighting to explore and describe the moods, emotions and atmospheres that I experience around me. Love, grief, melancholy and anger are all recurring themes. Rather than documenting reality as it appears naturally, I aim to let my inner world spill its colours onto the surfaces of the simplest shapes, the mundane, the familiar. My approach is to forge an intimate connection with my subject matter, and in doing so revealing something previously hidden or overlooked. Using lighting as paint brushes, I aim to explore the shapes and textures of everything from vegetables to trees, turning them into otherworldly creatures and deities. While a sense of scale or natural context is lost, what is imagined takes over. Grete lives and works in London. UK.
