The artists in ‘Afterlife’ share an interest in capturing particular or significant moments in time – whether taken from their own lives, or appropriated from the lives of others, drawn from significant points in history, or reached via psychological processes of investigation. Moving between personal and collective experience, the real and the mythic, the commonplace and the unknown, there is an underlying sense of sadness, melancholy or menace evident in much of their work.

‘Afterlife’ was a Vane exhibition presented at the Guildhall in Newcastle upon Tyne. The exhibition was shown in Chapter, Cardiff, 11 October – 16 November 2003.
