EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies captures a hauntingly beautiful scene within the Bunksland Farmhouse in East Anstey, North Devon. The image showcases a remarkable mobile hanging from the ceiling of the farmhouse's ground-floor room, featuring intricate silhouettes of horses suspended in mid-air. The rustic charm of this old farmhouse is evident, with its weathered walls and worn wooden beams providing a nostalgic backdrop for this eerie artwork. However, there is an undeniable sense of foreboding that emanates from the photograph. The juxtaposition between childhood innocence and nightmarish undertones creates an unsettling atmosphere. As we gaze at these horse silhouettes, their presence becomes increasingly sinister. Their delicate forms seem to dance eerily in the air as if trapped within some macabre nightmare. Decay permeates every corner of this room, adding to the ominous ambiance that lingers throughout. James O. Davies skillfully captures both beauty and darkness in his portrayal of this unique installation at Bunksland Farmhouse. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst decay and abandonment, art can still find its place - evoking emotions both profound and unsettling within those who encounter it. Through his lens, Davies invites us to contemplate our own interpretations of this enigmatic scene; perhaps reminding us that even within forgotten spaces lie stories waiting to be discovered – tales which may be equal parts enchanting and disturbing.
