Press Release, Michael Hoppen Gallery - There is a place on earth that can be seen from space like a white splash across the darker skin of the surrounding land.

Michael Hoppen Contemporary is delighted to present a new series of photographic works by Chloe Sells titled Senescence. This exhibition marks the first solo show of Sells’ work at Michael Hoppen Contemporary.
Informed by extensive travel, residence and immersion in countries foreign to her, Sells explores the question of how places are defined, while speculating on the consequences of human experience of place.

From a distinct orientation, what is revealed about comfort or fear, revulsion or curiosity?
