About the Work
"Initially,
when
given
the
task
of
picking
my
favourite
pieces
from
the
collection
I
chose
all
six
from
this
series
by
photographer
George
Krause.
This
was
the
first
photo
to
catch
my
attention.
I
am
drawn
to
the
composition,
the
bright
blown
out
background,
and
the
contours
described
by
the
contrasting
shadows.
The
subject
is
Raewyne
Johnson,
the
Sarjeant
Gallery’s
Events
Co-ordinator
who
told
tells
me
that
all
the
photos
in
this
series
were
taken
in
the
stairwell
of
Tylee
Cottage
where
Krause
was
artist-in-residence
and
that
George’s
focus
here
was
mainly
on
her
collar
bones.
What
attracts
me
to
this
portrait
and
the
series,
is
the
idea
of
artists
interacting
with
other
artists.
Raewyne
is
the
subject
here,
she
is
an
artist
and
is
actively
involved
in
the
arts
community."
