"My work is about time, mortality, and the senses: what it is to feel; a journal of sight, light, and color. The pictures are an urgent call to live. A primal roar telling me not to waste a second, to be here now. Look at this. Experience this. Feel this."
Cig Harvey
Cig Harvey's work in vibrant color photography and creative non-fiction writing is dedicated to exploring the question of what it means to experience life with all senses.
Living in a farmhouse in the US State of Maine with her husband Doug and daughter Scout, the British-born artist Cig Harvey is deeply connected to the natural world surrounding her. Acutely aware of the passing of time and the changing of seasons, she uses her camera to capture the fleeting magic found in the mundane and to show how rich in color, light and beauty seemingly trivial moments can be. «I am interested in the magic of everyday life», she says; “Look at this. Experience this. Feel this. The pictures say that time is the only currency.” And what could be a better metaphor for this than delicate, fragrant, colorful and ephemeral flowers?
