Back to A journey into Elaine Jeffrey's language of light at InSight Artspace

About

Statement

Color being the way the majority of people perceive light, each photograph has been instigated by such a scenario. It is a mixture of being intuitively in the moment and the same time staged with the resulting images accentuating the color of the object before the camera lens.

Press Release

Elaine Jeffrey was intrigued by the nuances of light - how it falls, changes, moves and differs. Since she was a child, she can remember "stage-like beams of light filtering boldly through dark clouds ; light racing through tall grasses along with the wind or the mesmerizing twinkles and reflections on the surface of water. These light situations have the power to move and inspire [her] in the same way that a piece of music can - nostalgically, poetically, dramatically and provocatively."
