A diverse and exciting collection of work from members of the long-established group of photographers Independent Photographers South East (IPSE ), who have been together now for well over
20 years. The show has been curated by Mick Williamson, who lectures on photography at the London Metropolitan University, Sir John Cass faculty of Art, Architecture and Design, and fellow lecturer, Kathryn Faulkner. They have selected a show of creative imagery, that doesn’t just mirror what is in front of the lens but aims to convey something more.
Several LIP members are represented:
Jill Staples has produced an unusual version of her take on the Prairie Garden – her images literally moving in the wind as a muslin hanging. There are some stunning abstract images from Caroline Fraser, very different and emotive black and white images from Avril Harris, and some whimsical still lives of gloves from David Malarkey. Portraits, still lives, street photography, and rural landscapes – all genres are well represented. The breadth of subject is both appealing and demanding of attention – intrigue, atmosphere, colour and form all play their part in making this an exhibition not to be missed.
