Exhibition: Convergence – Danielle Edwards

Danielle Edwards worked as a medical photographer for 29 years. It required an approach of discipline and precision to produce medical photographs for documentation and standardisation. She recently retired from this industry to pursue photography that embraces a more artistic and interpretative approach.

Danielle has been captivated by the natural world from early childhood. Inspired by the blend of art and science, she finds beauty in nature that surrounds her. Danielle investigates the life cycle of plants, insects and animals within the natural world. 

The images in this exhibition were created with a combination of techniques used in medical and scientific photography, primarily photomacrography and infrared. 

The final analogue photographic prints are created using French cotton paper hand coated with platinum-palladium and exposed in combination with a digital negative. 

By combining digital technologies with analog printing techniques, Danielle produces one-off, hand crafted images on paper. She finds the entire creation process a meditative experience.

This exhibition is best viewed in person but if you cannot get to East Trentham due to Covid19 restrictions the exhibition is also available for viewing online.

Gold Street Studios & Gallery. Trentham East, Victoria until 26 June 2022.
