EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting presence of Frederick Edward McWilliam's sculpture "Help," installed at St Johns Arts and Recreation Centre in Old Harlow, Essex. Created in 1977, during the tumultuous period of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the sculpture stands as a poignant reminder of the conflict's profound impact on society. McWilliam, a renowned post-war British sculptor, expertly conveys the sense of unease and tension through the two figures depicted. Their distorted, expressionless faces and intertwined limbs evoke a sense of struggle and despair, reflecting the complexities of the political and social unrest in Northern Ireland during that time. The photograph, taken by Steven Baker in 2015, offers a general view of the sculpture from the south west. The setting sun casts an ethereal glow over the scene, adding a layer of melancholy and introspection to the image. The stark contrast between the warm, golden light and the cold, grey sculpture serves to emphasize the stark realities of the conflict and its enduring consequences. The installation of "Help" at St Johns Arts and Recreation Centre serves as a testament to the power of art to reflect and engage with the complexities of history. The sculpture invites viewers to reflect on the past, consider the present, and contemplate the future. It stands as a powerful reminder of the human capacity for both conflict and compassion, and the importance of acknowledging and addressing the complexities of our shared history.
