Hands are a very expressive part of the human body. Gesture is not as fleeting as the smile on a face. Hands speak when words cannot be found. So it is this trope I have used in portraying 'Acceptance'. In making work on a personal project, where the narrative was too tangled the simple gestures of hands tell it with a clarity and simplicity.

Tessa Sinclair

Tessa’s work is inspired by the personal discovery some years ago of the therapeutic effect that wild spaces and immersion in the landscape have on our psyche. Much of her work explores the belief that certain places have a particularly strong effect, creating solace in times of turmoil. Her photobook, ‘A Restless Land’ which was shortlisted for the Charcoal Book Publishing Prize,  was a soliloquy on the marshlands of Suffolk during ‘lockdown’. Tessa  pursued this search for the ‘quality’ of wild spaces which impact on us in her project ‘Breathe’, which comprised a collection of large immersive prints which were exhibited in The Ballroom Arts Gallery, Aldeburgh  in October 2023.

Her new work  has powerfully combined certain formally composed, immersive landscapes with portraits of hands to tell the story of a personal response to a change in life which is unchangeable and to which one can only adapt.
