“I\u2019m mesmerized by photographs of people long gone, remnants of ephemeral lives held in the material of the moment. The Cox family enjoying the beach at<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Lossiemouth<\/span>\u00a0is a perfect portal into<\/span>\u202f<\/span>the realms of the unseen, ancestors, memory and time\/space\/matter.\u202fRemoving myself from the usual photographic methods, I \u2018burn\u2019 instead of \u2018print\u2019, creating through the process of destruction and giving another form to the things that once were. I explore immateriality through materiality, the thin places that lead to a greater mystery.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Patricia\u00a0<\/span>Ramaer<\/span>\u00a0is a contemporary artist. Her practice is photography inspired and includes film, rituals, installations and sculpture.\u202f A recent graduate of the MFA Art and Humanities her newest works can be seen at her solo exhibit \u201cBetween\u201d from the 29th\u202fof February 2020 at Dock Street Studios Gallery, Dundee.\u202f\u202f<\/span>
