Graduating from MA Photography at London College of Communication in 2008, last year Davies was shortlisted for New Contemporaries and selected for the International Photography Awards. In 2010, she will have a solo show in June and exhibit in the Brighton Biennale in October. The forests depicted in her work are those of the imagination, residual traces of real places merged into single scenes. Exploring lines between reality and a constructed visual fantasy, they draw on the strangeness that lies beneath the surface of the commonplace. The dark and shadowed spaces lure and repel the imagination, as the woodland becomes a world of psychological uncertainty. Brightly lit foregrounds are soothing and accessible but beyond these and divided from them by flimsy fences or boundaries are the dark voids of the forest interiors.
