Photography
is continuously evolving with new and diverse techniques and treatments. This exhibition explores how different
photographic images can offer new perspectives
on photographic art – two artists revealing the parallels between their distinctive visions.

Ellen says, “Working abstractly could
impact an image’s meaning. Looking for
beauty in the ordinary and spotlighting fragmentation in most of my work, the
curious are compelled to contemplate the reason for their visual impression”.
Kay says, “Augmenting reality to entice
the viewer to “feel” the 3-dimensional image requires a knowledge of
perspective and the use of technology to produce my work. The images have a tactile quality a
2-dimensional photo can only approximate.
Their construction can go beyond reality as when a cat’s paw reaches out
of the mat and dares the viewer to pet it; or a tulip lowers its blossom to
show the interior of its cup”.
