DECISIVE MOMENTS PRECEDE WILDMAN'S CHANGE OF SCENE

Submitted by Editor on Mon, 10/01/2011 - 16:59

Michael Wildman's extraordinary photographs of nudes and landscapes have featured regularly at Axolotl Gallery on Dundas Street. Now that he is leaving Scotland for South American travels, staff there are holding a farewell exhibition of his most recent work.

'I am interested in the story of each individual that I photograph,' writes Wildman. 'I encourage them to explore their memories, feelings and sense of self and express these thoughts at that "decisive moment", hopefully discovering something new, something unknown.'

The Edinburgh-based artist is expected to be away for about a year, but before he goes he will give a talk at Axolotl on Saturday 15 January at 1:00pm. Tel. 557 1460 to confirm details.

Framed or unframed A1 and A2 prints of his work are available at the gallery at much reduced prices. The exhibition runs until 20 January. To learn more about Wildman's work, see: http://vimeo.com.
