It examines the often ordinary and surprisingly familiar places that have been tarnished with tragic pasts. Each scenario calls for examination, whilst challenging us to contemplate what has taken place but also the lives that have been lost and the families that have been destroyed. We continuously question how we associate and tie meaning to a certain location, urging us to delve deeper. Free of the sensationalism of contemporary reporting the unadorned and often plainly deceptive scenarios question our current perceptions of our surroundings whilst offering a subjective resolution to our thoughts. Harrowing and distorted image profiles support the landscapes, providing an insight to the individuals who lost their lives and the criminals who themselves brought tragedy to them, their families and the community. Voids remain where profiles have not been found, cases unresolved, or relevant to the incident. Mercia allows us to look beyond the innocence of the picturesque or banal, whilst challenging deeper psychological issues, dwelling on relationships between humanity and nature.
