Moonshine Tales & Other Stories
20th July - 14th September 2002.

Describing Vered's work,
Bridget Crump Gallery and Exhibitions Officer said: "Her work
has a whimsical quality, often exploring themes concerned
with childhood, families, group and personal identity, but
her images also have a cool, scientific style."
In this exhibition she showed six pieces
of work which juxtaposed photography and three-dimensional
objects. Vered explained that she is interested in telling
stories, which allude to the personal histories of individuals
and families as well as universal themes such as childhood.
She appropriates found images and objects by re-using and
re-presenting them. This often involves painstaking preparation
and research, like visiting endless car boot sales to find
images of families, or searching the desert for nests. Although
her work often relates to specific personal experiences,
she is also keen for it to be open-ended, encouraging the
viewer to create their own meanings and interpretation.
