"The myth that our last 150 years constituted a ‘golden age’ for Britain is looking increasingly threadbare, especially when one examines the recorded feelings of those who lived through those years. What we can say for certain is that great change is coming, a society that dances on the precipice is vulnerable to the winds of change and, whilst nobody seems to know or understand where we’re going, we're facing a very different world in the coming decades. Samuel Fradley’s photography distils a society caught in this moment in a language beyond words. It is a language of atmospheres and allusions that makes totems of our everyday surroundings. Work like his refutes Clark’s cult of confidence, ages of anxiety almost always produce fascinating and moving works of art, from poetry to painting, music to photographs, these works become not just expressions of a zeitgeist but crucial documents and moving testaments in our troubled national story. - " Excerpt from Morgan Haigh, Art Historian, from his Essay "A New Age of Anxiety".
