THESE DAYS is a series of images which explore the psychological and physical processes of the aging parent. Potter photographs her father in a personal yet universal documentation of how the parent changes and how the child comes to terms with witnessing this metamorphosis.

By using montage, still life, landscape and portraiture, the viewer experiences everything the photographer has experienced. The parent here transcends from being a stranger to us, to becoming the viewer's parent, he represents the aging process, we identify with Potter's concerns, we are confronted with our own fears, we are reminded of our own fragility and the overwhelming love a child experiences for his/her parent.

Kate Potter has also explored the notions of trauma through landscape and performative portraiture.
However, Potter's soon to be exhibited series PORTRAIT, looks at conceptual ideas of portraiture and the process of photography itself. www.lounge-gallery.com for further information.
