LIBERTY MAHER

Artist - Beyond Photography Collective

Liberty Maher is a Leeds based fine artist studying at University of Leeds. Her work is concerned with photography as a tool of representation. She has explored this through its use as documentation, and its ability to be obscured and transformed into something away from reality. She has a key interest in the moral dilemmas that can arise through these obscurities. Liberty was an original member of the Beyond Photography Collective where she showcased a series of evocative images printed on glass.

Liberty on Beyond Photography: To me, Beyond Photography is about pushing the boundaries of the photographed image. My work looks into the definition of a photograph, as a documentation of a single moment in time, and sets to change it, whether this is during the moment of capture, or in what happens in the aftermath. [...] I manipulate images to give them a completely different meaning. The photograph is more than what we see, something lies beyond the photograph.
