Lockdown Niche Series - Beauty in isolation  
Reworking one of the great themes, Shelley creates compositions combining the style of the old masters with new interpretation using modern technology. The viewer is faced with familiar objects, yet the compositions hold visual surprises. The play with illusionary elements like unconventional lighting, forced perspective and juxtaposed objects characterises the work, resulting in everyday objects taking on an intriguing and surreal ambience.  
The concept of this series created during the Covid-19 lockdown focuses on the niche as an isolated architectural feature. It symbolises a safe space for contemplation and it's emptiness is filled with elements of nature placed to highlight the beauty that surrounds us in this strange time.
