Works
14th January to 25th February 2003
"
Photography has become a way for me to explore the concept of the traditionally
drawn line, and the connection between that which is looked upon as being mechanical
(photographs) and the hand manipulated (drawing).
I try with every image to contain a certain kind of beauty that everyday life
can pass by, by using subjects which are at hand, and which are common to all
of us. The main issue that my work explores is that of the language created by
the camera and its relationship with other media. These new images are all taken
in South London, and contain abstract line as their focus."
2) Zoom In Photography
Zoom In was founded in 1997 by photographers Rose Butler and Maedhbhina
McCombe. Their ambition was to create the best not-for-profit darkroom in
London, making photography accessible and affordable for all.
Zoom In curates an exhibition programme hosted by the Bread and Roses
Pub, Clapham.
It also offers a range of photography courses for adults, and an outreach
programme offering photography classes for schools, youth clubs and community
groups.
