Foam 3h: Joss McKinley | Gathering wool
31 August – 14 October 2012

Opening on 30 August, Foam 3h presents Gathering Wool. This project by English photographer Joss McKinley (1981) will make its debut in Foam. ‘Gathering wool’ means daydreaming, originating from the time when farmers’ wives and daughters gathered the wool left behind by sheep in the bushes and heaths. During these quiet moments they were able to put their thoughts in order and to daydream. McKinley’s project deals with this daydreaming and the human desire for nature, quiet and time. His photos portray the stillness and serenity that seems to be missing in our modern, often busy lives.
