Infrared Inspiration: Photography by Paulette Mortimer
Monday, October 22, 2012
6pm to 9pm
Doongalik Studios Art Gallery
20 Village Road

Do you think you could tell what time of day a black and white infrared image was taken? Fine Art Photographer, Paulette A. N. Mortimer, will give you the opportunity to try as she is back to show her unique photography works in an art exhibition entitled ?Infrared Inspiration,? which opens on Monday, October 22nd at Doongalik Studios, #20 Village Road from 6 ? 9 pm.

For 14 years, Mortimer has used her photographic skills to chronicle scenes at Mount Alvernia in Cat Island, as well as in Abaco and New Providence and her portfolio provides an important historical record of the Bahamian landscape. She recently took a trip to Ireland and thoroughly enjoyed focusing her lens on a completely different landscape from the other side of the world. A selection of these works will also be on display in the exhibition.

In this exhibition, Mortimer is presenting an array of local landscapes which take on the amazingly surreal quality of another dimension in infrared with white leaves and grass contrasting strikingly with darkened skies ? a true reflection of what we cannot see with the naked eye.

?My love for fine art photography developed during my college years where I was exposed to hand colouring, hand-toning, pinhole, colour, and panoramic photography and I enjoyed trying new techniques and experimented constantly with different printing processes, hence my love of black and white photography which I can develop myself.

Doongalik Studios was formed in the 1970's by Jackson Burnside, architect, artist and cultural advocate and his wife, Pam. The couple have spent their lifetime together committed to promoting the country's outstanding artistic talent which they firmly believe can establish The Bahamas as an international center of creativity.

Doongalik Studios Art Gallery has two locations in Nassau - in the picturesque Marina Village at Atlantis, Paradise Island (designed by Burnside), which showcases the work of over 70 local artists using all forms of media, and at #18 Village Road which is home to a large Exhibition Gallery in an historically traditional building nestled amongst a lush garden.
