Photography exhibition: Samantha Everton - Childhood Memories June 5, 2007

In her latest series, Samantha Everton expresses the universality of Childhood Fears which span cultural and social divides and connect us all in a common thread of humanity. Childhood fears are often not rationally understood or easily articulated. They can be real or imagined, felt physically or mentally, yet all of these experiences are equally powerful. In reawakening our perception of these fears Everton offers all children a sense of validation. These images are both hauntingly beautiful and deeply compelling. Their strength lies not only in their poignancy and intensity, but in their ability to communicate deep and profound messages to all that see them.
