Camera moves close to home

TWENTY photographers from around Australia are exhibiting on a familiar theme, “Close to Home” in a new exhibition opening tonight at the Q, by the Australian Photographic Society’s contemporary division. 

The subject ranges over people, places, concepts, and emotions.

Barb Smith explores form and light in her own living room, Dainis Zakis’s focuses on local pubs, while Elizabeth Slezak’s “Windows” and Ian Marshall’s “Spoons” move in more closely.

While Philippa Frederiksen presents meditations on water, Marie Tresidder looks at communications old and new. Kay Mack’s idea is “Don’t Fence Me In” and Judy Parker photographs landscapes, abstracts and found objects.

Philip Lawrence’s reflects on the meaning of home for service people abroad, Susan Henderson shows us a grandmother with her granddaughter and Jill Turnbull does her own with “Girl with Pearl Earring.”

The exhibition also, provocatively includes three-dimensional and audiovisual exhibits as well as conventional prints.
