The way art leads the viewer to consider their own perception… There is so much to be seen when we stop and take a moment as art asks us to slow down, drop the mask and be present. What a gift that is.

I’ve been having so much fun playing with all different ways to portray, reflect and express light in the creative space✨
These pieces I’ve been working on are so beautiful in the way they reflect the environment, embracing light, movement and playing with transient expression ✨

I’m currently preparing the photography of Dragonfly, Phoenix and Tears in the fabric of reality to go up on the website for sale. I love how these examples come up to see realistically how they would look on a wall framed. I’m in love.
What do you think? ❤️

Image 1 of 12. The shift. Changed trajectory.

As my presentation began, the words I spoke.
Producing this work and presenting this portfolio I had never imagined that It would all come to a head the way it did. Presenting to Julian, Penny and my class the day after dad passed away. This is the first time this series has been shared outside the classroom and outside our home. I hope that if it resonates, you too might find some healing here. Much love 💙

‘Emotions”
By Kate Purdie
I would like to begin by dedicating this to my dad.
He passed away yesterday.

These images are a journey through the emotions linked to dad’s illness of cancer.
These images have been something that the whole family have been able to relate to and draw some strength from.
There are so many feelings that are felt through this series, from confusion to anger, hope and peace.
The series is shot on medium format tungsten film in daylight, thus giving the blue cast. I decided to use tungsten film to produce this cast after discovering the meanings behind blue in colour theory. When blue is mixed with black it describes anger, fear, confusion. And when blue is mixed with white it describes hope, healing, peace and comfort.
I wanted to create images that would have meaning and & sense of comfort to the people affected by our loss. But I also wanted them to be able to be appreciated even if people didn’t know what motivation was behind them.

For the framing, I didn’t want to mat them in white because I felt it was too much. The feelings do not exist that support that much purity yet.
So I decided to mat them in a neutral colour, picking up tones from the landscape. I double matted them with white to highlight them a bit and bring out the white highlights throughout the series.
This has been the most difficult thing I have ever had to do.
But I hope that in some small way these images can heip our family heal over time.
We will never forget what a wonderful loving and courageous person dad was. The Best dad and husband, he will be missed forever, it is one void that can never be filled.
Kate.
