Whilst invigilating in the attic, I found I had time to go around the exhibition and explore some of the works on offer. I came across Simon Norfolk's 'Full Sprectrum Dominance' 2008 series and really enjoyed the artists exploration of the 'sublime' in landscapes.
The artist had decided to purposely separate the images, exploring the idea of "two realms in the passing from one to the next, the earthy and heavenly; and the missiles leaping across them."
I love the idea of movement by separating the two images- the first seems tranquil, it is only when you see the following image that you see something which is exploding. The idea of beauty having a potential to be something quite catastrophic and destructive.
