Photographic processes and practices, old and new, intertwine in the exhibition "Opposite Ends of the Spectrum". The show jointly features works by artists Julia Davies and Susan Marshall.

Davies' images of fearful confrontation are produced from digital negatives and then printed in a darkroom as cyanotypes. Photographic processes and practices, old and new, intertwine in the exhibition "Opposite Ends of the Spectrum". The show jointly features works by artists Julia Davies and Susan Marshall.

Davies' images of fearful confrontation are produced from digital negatives and then printed in a darkroom as cyanotypes.Toy tanks, guns and shadowy figures dominate an eerie landscape in the blue-toned cyanotypes, launching a discussion about endless cycles of aggression and war.

Marshall's, digital, works are inspired by the 16th century fascination for collecting the rarest, the most exquisite, the bizarre. The digital photos of collected specimens under her scrutiny achieve an element of immortality.
