"Life itself is not the reality. We are the ones who put life into stones and pebbles." Frederick Sommer

Digital imagist Ashley Turner's muted silhouettes of jagged treelines and subtropical flora pulse across his canvas like aura readings.
Light boxes hum with the intensity of a heat haze. Figurative dreamscapes create a sense of place sublimely sunblind and defocused - a waking state between sleep and consciousness.

Sunsets from ground zero, retro-graphic satellite pictures -of future landscapes- from a sparkling planet. Earthy tones and surreal blues burn with the promise of an endless summer's day.

Abstract and hallucinatory; Turner's images are the results of in-digi-camera tinkering; freeform focusing, pushed contrast and exploratory use of colour saturation.

Aotearoa's bush has never looked so chic.

Ashley Turner has been making photos for twenty years. Whilst being no stranger to analogue techniques he now prefers the immediacy of digital in the transference of his ideas.

Opening night on Wednesday 21st January @ The Odeon Lounge,3 Mount Eden rd. 6.30pm with live audio sound scapes by Misled Convoy;

A burst of static has always been considered as good as a melody to Michael Hodgson (one half of Pitch Black) from this position he works as Misled Convoy using sound and effects as his tools to create long evolving sound scapes.

Ashley is also the prime mover behind the upcoming event "Gleem" a post modern art fest of light sculptures and music.
