The forestry area of “Devilla” has served to be the accomplished setting for an ambiguous narrative to be told through a series of black and white photographs; captured on medium format film. I have used symbols in and of the landscape to explore the themes of Freud’s “Uncanny” – that which is unfamiliar yet familiar. With the injection of a womanly figure; I have inconspicuously linked the forest and women to their history of monstrosity.
Wemyss Witches images from East and West Wemyss, Fife. The location is different from Devilla but the ideas and inspirations are the same. The inspiration was a ghost story that is connected to this area: The story of Green Jeanie.
