Dominic Rouse - 'The comfort of the last to leave' (2002)

● Home is so sad. It stays as it was left,
    Shaped to the comfort of the last to go
    As if to win them back. Instead, bereft
    Of anyone to please, it withers so,

    Philip Larkin - English Poet 1922-85  (From 'Home is so sad' 1958)

● "Whether considering P H Emerson and his albumen prints or Edward Weston to Jerry Uelsmann and their work with gelatin silver or, for that matter, Dominic Rouse with his digitally montaged images, it's the mind of the photographer and his exploration of the fundamental questions of life and death, love and loss, meaning and chaos that makes photographic art captivating." - Brooks Jensen (LensWork Publishing USA)

● "Rouse's photographs offer glimpses into the intricate tapestry of human emotions, desires and vulnerabilities that reflect the complexity of our unconscious egos.  Meditations on the constraints of the human condition are interwoven with the threads of light and darkness that plague us all. The result is a haunting beauty emanating from these unique and original explorations of the human soul." - Monice du Soir
