Paula Rae Gibson, a London-born artist, found her voice in photography following a near-fatal car accident in her early 20s. Initially drawn to analogue techniques, Gibson now integrates digital methods into her work, which serves as an intimate diary of her emotions and a profound exploration of vulnerability, loss, and love. Her images, each a unique edition of one, are raw and distressed, reflecting the depth of her personal trauma, including the untimely death of her husband when their daughter was just 20 months old. Gibson’s work, characterized by its marred and abraded surfaces, captures the visceral anguish of loss, using the female body—often her own—as a medium for a private, autobiographical language. Her photographs, imbued with a haunting beauty, resonate with the relentless and mournful marks of history, offering a poignant reminder of life’s imperfect, unfinished nature.
