About Mimeses North
Mimeses North is a collective of Northern, fine art
photographers who have come together in order to enhance individual interpretations
of our relationships with the world in which we live, exploring relationships of
fellow humans, animals, interactions with our landscape, across to all things
‘other’.
Mimeses North provides mutual support and critique
along with opportunities for specific collaborations, mounting group
exhibitions on their core theme.
In an increasingly competitive art world, the
collective is a way of opening and maintaining the conversation between artists
and an art loving public. By combining insights and debate with defined
collaboration in work, Mimeses North intends that their combined output will
always add up to more than the sum of parts.

'Shafted By AEI'
It feels like we’re back in the 80‘s or worse, with increasing unemployment and a feeling of hopelessness for the future. In the North East, more than 25% of households have no-one in paid employment. This project is a reflection of my time spent with ‘Shafted By AEI’, a group formed by the 126 workers unfairly dismissed from a cable factory in Gateshead. The majority are men, many of whom worked for the company for 30 to 40 years from leaving school. To pull the job they’ve done for most of their lives from under their feet, without giving them notice or redundancy pay, was devastating. Together, as ‘Shafted by AEI’, the workers fight for compensation.
