We are delighted to announce our latest artist to the mix.
Chelle's still life work is both quirky and at the same time hauntingly timeless. It's fresh, unique and reflective. In her own words Chelle gives us an insight into her process.
“I am an obsessional Still Life photographer. Through the lens of a camera I can create little squares of simplicity and beauty. These pockets of curated harmony let me pretend for a moment that I can keep a perfect house like my mum used to. With a sweep of my hand I push aside the bench clutter and arrange pretty things and lose myself for hours, following light around the house and casting my view solely on what I want to see. Everything else falls away and I’m magicked back to the serenity of my childhood when not a thing was ever out of place. Of course keeping a perfect house, and all that underpinned it, came at a great cost to my mother, and probably all mothers of her generation. I think I glorify this more as an adult with a family, often struggling to keep on top of it all. Through Still Life I can make believe I’m a splendid homemaker, without any of the enduring stamina the women of my mother’s era drew upon in their service to family and home.
I am most grateful to have been selected in 2020 as an Olive Cotton finalist, a Head On semi finalist and named top 20 in the Australasian Emerging Art Photography awards.”
