Gathering Colour - Angela Creaser

Picture
Dates of exhibition: April 30 - June 2, 2013

Read a review of the exhibition in The Coast

Ever since she was small, Angela Creaser was fascinated with things that were small, with fine details, drawn to the intricacies that most people overlooked, or did not see. Angela's first solo exhibition focuses on images drawn from almost two years of combining marbles and macro photography.

Marbles became a focus of Angela's work by accident – a cheap subject from a dollar store, marbles were the perfect subject to practice macro technique and thus the obsession began. Angela became intrigued by the light passing through them, the imperfections, and how the colour spreads through the glass.

Photographing marbles with macro and micro lenses allows the details to be the center focus by enlarging them. There is a certain amount of symmetry within Angela's images, even when it isn’t literal. She finds symmetry in the placement of the bubbles and the curves; attention is given to the details when it comes to composition and framing.


Call for Submissions – New Light: Emerging Photographers

ViewPoint Gallery seeks to boost the careers of promising photographers, irrespective of age or background. New Light will introduce the work of photography-based artists from the Atlantic Canada region who consider themselves at the beginning of a photographic career, whether they be recent graduates or mid-life converts. Four artists, each to be represented by up to six works, will be chosen.

Deadline for submissions, June 30, 5pm. Click here for submission guidelines and more information.

Print Reviews are open to the public! Bring your prints (any size, framed or not) for a group print review lead by one or more of our members where passionate photographers will discuss your work with you, and provide feedback.

If you've ever wondered what others think of your work but were too shy to ask or always received the dreaded "It's nice" response, this is your opportunity. We hope to see you there!
