Swansea photographer Tyron Francis is currently working on a project about depression and how it affects the life of the sufferer and those around them.
He is producing a body of work comprising formal portraits and documentary images to feature in a local exhibition in early 2009. After that he hopes to exhibit outside of Swansea and release a book of the images. Participants are asked to produce a short piece of writing about any aspect of the illness they would like to talk about to accompany their photograph.
If you would like to take part or know of somebody who would benefit from being a part of this project please contact Tyron directly through http://www.tfrancis.co.uk.
Well unfortunately I missed this, as it took part a little earlier than I expected, but luckily thanks to the wonders of the interweb we can all watch it again…
Looks pretty amazing, and aparantly the number of participants was in the region of 200.
Framework Swansea are curating an exhibition called Works on Paper that will be hosted at the Elysium Gallery.
“This is not only an opportunity to be part of an exciting exhibition, but also a chance to support the only artist run gallery and art-space in the city.”
Submission deadline Sunday 21st September
Private View Friday 26th September
Exhibition Continues until 19th October
Gallery open: Thursday – Saturday 11am-5pm
