Twisted sister

NZ artist, Anne Shelton, featured in Vancouver’s annual gallery-crawl, Swarm  described as “for many … the only gallery-going to be accomplished all year.” Shelton’s eerie photographic diptychs portray the scenes of actual murders: “Each location, photographed in a cinematic style, forces the viewer to consider the ways we fictionalise tragedy – we make stories, movies, myths, out of someone else’s disaster. The broad daylight in these landscapes is a deep freeze; the absence of any human life makes them gorgeously austere.”
