'The Painful Untruth'
on display in a Southport Art Gallery
THE Southport Waterfront Art Gallery's,
theme for this months exhibition is 'The Painful Untruth.' Pat
Hughes, has submitted a collection of photographs of people who have been
homeless, but have now recovered.
She said:- "I truly believe they are an inspiration to
others. People have preconceived ideas about the lives of homeless people. What
they don't realize is that each has a painful hidden story. My photographs show
each as they were when homeless, what they are now and adjoining each pair of
photos is their story. I admire how each has overcome their problems, achieved
so much and are now inspiring and helping others to do the same. To me they are
the caterpillars who just when they thought their lives were over they became
'Beautiful Butterflies.'" |
