J Sebastian, Barbara Beck, Priscilla Monger, Susan Hill, Patricia Grabski,
Judith Preston, and Carole Massey exhibit together and this show has a variety
of photographic techniques as varied as they are. There is digital and analog
photography printed on a variety of substrates including metal, acrylic, and fabric.
And their processes are just as varied i.e.
wet/dry cyanotypes, van dyke, salt prints, platinum palladium, lumens, and
transfers. Photography is simply alchemy and light coming together which explain the title of the
show.
These
seven women make up the True
North Photo Society and they take the phrase true north
seriously with each one following their own story lines. The works is displayed
on the walls in an interwoven way which is at first confusing, but, interestingly,
there is a sort of calm that prevails as the overriding theme seems to be
nature. This is re-enforced with soothing music and comfortable chairs. The gallery
is light filled. If we saw each artist separately with their individual work
grouped together, that would not be the case.
