BECKON A DEEP OCEAN
Ronda Wallis creates images that are concerned with the coastal environment as signifiers of cultural identity and social history. Part of this exhibition takes the form of large format Cibachrome photographs that are characterised by a low angle of view and a measure of distortion. Taken using pinhole cameras the work shifts the viewer’s usual perspective to one reminiscent of childhood – a time during which our sense of self develops often influenced by the surrounding landscape. Included are some special viewers incorporating underwater images as well as an example of a camera obscura. Catalogue Essay by Jude Adams in Bibliography
