Thoughts
5 February to 8th March 2009Thursday to Sunday, 11 - 5
This exhibition of new photographs by Richard O’Farrell shows a free flow of thoughts from a man who feels his emotions deeply and is able to be totally present in each moment. In this series of images you will share some of his intimate experiences over the past two years.
Most of this work was done in India and Sri Lanka where Richard lived solely on water for twelve days as the result of a food-induced illness. His senses were highly tuned and it shows.
As Richard says - “My state of mind at the time may have been at either pole - or in between - and yet all of these works have an underlying sense of calm and serenity ... My use of photography allows me a wonderful outlet to ‘write’ the tumultuous thoughts in my bipolar mind.”
