Truth and Beauty
8 February to 4 March 2007
Truth and Beauty is the first in a series of several exhibitions featuring artists who choose to work with the traditional photographic contact process. These artists do so largely because of the sensuousness of the process.
The sheer tonal beauty that is possible when a photograph is made by direct contact between the negative from the camera and the ultimate photographic surface is seductive in itself. Add to this the self-authenticating nature of photography on film (i.e. the subject actually had to be there in the first place) and the medium becomes almost irresistible - truth with beauty.
This exhibition consists of a selection of photographs from nine artists working with the exquisite contact process. All the photographs are part of much larger bodies of work, some complete, some continuing. The artists are
| Anthony Browell | Michael Kenna | George Tice |
| Linda Connor | Bob Kersey | Gordon Undy |
| Susan Huber | Richard O'Farrell | Tim Williams |
