25/6/08 Drill Hall Gallery to view Michele Maurin: Voyages Photographiques, An Ecological Journey. An another instersting look at what the world has to offer us, with french photographer Michele giving us access to images from, New York, Hong Kong, French Polynesia, Ivory Coast and the Amazon. Her use of partial toning, with gold, iron and other metals to penetrate the silver emulsion to bring out a special lighting to her images make it unique.

I found the Ivory Coast and Amzon images in particular similar to the picture paradise images @ from the National Gallery composition and landscape wise.


Also @ the same location I got a look @ Lydia Chevel installation of work covering the theme wIne glasses. Digital photography that evokes excess with a of riot of images and colours.
All the images are out of focus and blurry but great compositions.
Not realy sure what it all means, maybe the abuse of alcohol in Australia society today, particulary the excess the teenagers seem to be drinking it at And maybe Lydia is trying to portray that to us.
