Passage of Time - Monika Drabot

Passage of Time

Encourages us to take a moment to reflect and engage with pieces that mirror the stages of life and instill some of that sense of wonder we so often lose as we grow. 

Monika Drabot’s interest in photography has led her to a fascination with exploring light and how the action of controlling it can cause abstracts to become reality; to create new worlds and alter the perceptions of what we see in the finished print, vs what was originally photographed. 

With this exhibition the intention is to immerse people beyond what the camera can capture and portray. Viewers can interact and connect with the parts familiar to them, and activate the artwork by creating experiences in the space and being a part of it. To move beyond the 2D print to installation work that involves the viewer in a physical way and not just as a passive observer. 

Passage of Time encourages us to take a moment to reflect and engage with pieces that mirror the stages of life and inspire some of that sense of wonder we so often lose as we grow. 

Monika would like to thank Vikki Gray for taking the time to help her through the process of curating the exhibition and lending her writing skills to communicate the project. 

Thank you to Marcel Lenormand for the technical expertise to create the light installation. Many Thanks to Guernsey Arts and Guernsey Arts Foundation for sponsoring the exhibition.
