Lens and Feather
Justine Cook
27 April 2013 - 14 June 2013

Lens and Feather is a film from a new body of work from Wales-based artist Justine Cook. Justine’s work captures moments in time exploring force, motion and process, creating a soothing, still atmosphere.

This film was made in response to The End in Hay on Wye, a shop full of dark, miraculous and wondrous objects. With the use of a cinema lens, a crow’s feather and a ticking clock, Justine investigates ideas around mortality and the passage between life and death.
