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.

'Enduring and After'




Working life in small rural communities across Northumberland has been perpetually reshaped by political, economic, and environmental decisions made at regional, national and international levels at times creating adverse effects so detrimental that some villages fail to thrive as a community.

This work observes continuing adaptation to meet economic challenges noting the evolving conversation between a host community and the perceived redeeming industry, tourism.

Through photography, we glimpse beyond the tranquil rurality into scenes of contemporary working life on the Northumbrian coast. Residents retain a strong sense of belonging, relishing the familiarity of their home town and consider themselves guardians of their natural environment as they fight to stabilise the sustainability and continuity of their community.
