Dorrie McVeigh

I am a British photographer, born in New York , I grew up in London and now live and work in Marseille in Southern France.
My photography has become a means for me to forage into my unconscious and reveal the world as I see it. Having grown up in a country that is not my homeland, I have always been a little bit adrift and I am aware that my images are born from this. Whilst I am drawn to the iconography and sheen of modern life, I find what really interests me is to strip this back to reveal the fragile, quiet and some times empty spaces that lie beneath. The first artist I fell in love with was Edward Hopper, his work encapsulates so perfectly the constant possibility for loneliness and vulnerability in our fast lives whilst also reminding us that it is these moments that are perhaps the most poignant.
