About The Artwork
NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM 1 Multiple images were taken on the same day in June on a deserted Saltfleet beach. I have taken the concept of vacuuming to a deserted Saltfleet beach in Lincolnshire. "You'll be happier with a Hoover" was their slogan in the 1940s. I'm not sure that's entirely true! The vacuum cleaners featured here are from the late 1940s (119 models.) I liked the idea of the equally bothersome saying from that time, "A woman's work is never done." Combining that adage with a truly impossible task of vacuuming a beach. The wedding dress and paper bag over the heads add to the submissive anonymity, yet there is a light within. Overall, this concept appealed to my creative sense of the absurd. They say, "Nature abhors a vacuum."

PETER HUCKERBY Moments before a thunderstorm, a sense something is about to change, something exciting, possibly dangerous. My images are in essence an attempt to capture a development just before the event. I love unattainable stillness. Nothing in view is impossible, although could be unsettling yet exhilarating! I live in Britain; I love the spiritual, mythical, ancient and superstitious overtones that embrace the land. Subtle but still visible if you look deeply. Safe fear, like watching horror movies, ultimately can be unsatisfying. Still, imagery can deliver a more enduring emotion letting the viewer complete the story. The tale is about to be revealed! https://huckerbypeter.wixsite.com/huckerby
