Mimeses North: Walter Lewis

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.

‘Being Ox Close Wood’

'You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus' (Mark Twain, 1889)

My photography seeks out places which offer space for deep reflection on how we relate to the world around us. My focus is the light and dark, the flow of textures, form and structure, the growing, decaying and static – challenging perceived ideas of everyday reality.

Ox Close Wood dates back to mediaeval times. It has been crafted out of human engagement with nature – providing both material and spiritual succour. However today's wood is just an unnoticed in everyday living. My work explores its re-positioning as reinvigorator of enchantment, the words of Mark Twain my constant companions.
