Artist Statement

Anneleen Lindsay’s photography explores the endurance of wild, natural environments and themes of solitude, freedom, land ownership (and questioning what that means), representations of women, femininity and feminism. She photographs both real and imagined relationships between individuals and nature, inviting the viewer to project a story or character on to the human subject and the landscape. 

Anneleen’s work has been in over 30 exhibitions worldwide. She was a winner in the British Journal of Photography’s ‘Portrait of Britain’ in 2016 and her work was displayed on billboards around the UK as part of this. She won the British Council’s ‘Shakespeare Lives in Photography’ competition in 2016 which resulted in a further commission for their worldwide yearlong programme of events, with exhibitions in Vietnam, Russia and London. Anneleen was a finalist in 4 categories of the 11th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards (including runner up in the portrait category) and exhibited these images at the Biennial of Fine Art and Documentary Photography in Barcelona, 2018. Her photograph ‘Caroline at the Back Door’ was selected for inclusion in the BJP ‘Portrait of Britain’ book, Hoxton Mini Press 2018.
