The February exhibition of the Rotunda Gallery examines both digital and 
analogue photographic techniques.  Light Drawings, by Katrina Jennifer 
Bedford, explores the human body.

Light Drawings was born out of passion and fear;  a passion for analogue 
photography and a fear that this once-dominant medium is on the brink of 
extinction. The exhibition features a series of photographic prints that 
explores the body as an intimate, yet abstracted landscape made up of 
compositions that were originally created in a darkroom. The works are a 
hybrid of the photogram/photograph, and are constructed from casts made 
from Bedford's own skin.
"The resulting pictures suggest a topography that is reminiscent of 
constellations visible in the night sky," says the artist.

Light Drawings pushes the form and function of analog photography by 
using techniques that are atypical of the silver gelatin medium.  
                                                                                                                                           

Katrina Jennifer Bedford holds an Honours BA combined in Multimedia and
