An exhibition by Mary Attard

Impressions= photography.

Place: sharma Ethnic cuisines in Mdina

I visited on the 5^th of April.

She specialised and takes record of the textures in nature and what we see in everyday life. She always tries to capture something different and not everybody sees. She started photography in the mid 70’s, she has a lot of exhibited work excluding one in my house which I like a lot. Her aim is that she shows the things which doesn’t mean nothing by looking to them closely makes them means a lot.

Nature’s patterns:

 

it is printed on an acrylic sheet and it is 40.64 x52.07cm

Why did I choose this: I like how the colours are vibrant and the pattern on the right hand side of the photo which is in the fields, I like how it shows the 3D element of the fields.  The roads seems like something else to me, they are like barriers.

   Study in blues:

 

It is printed on an acrylic sheet it is 51 x 39cm. this photo is taken in Salina.

Why did I choose this: first of all it is the view from my house and I absolutely love the reflection and it’s details. When I look at it I take certain minute to combine the one in the water and the one on top.

Village core:

it is printed on acrylic sheet and it is 40 .64 x52.07.

Why did I choose it : it is a manipulation which is very interesting and makes you wonder how she done it. I was wondering where the place is and I think it is in Xemxija. For me it has the same shape of the world and but is focusing on one particular thing, and it looks like it is going to explode.

Gateway:

it is printed on canvas and it is 80 x 60 cm.

Why did I choose this: in this photo you can see that the gateway has a really nice texture which is made only by nature so this is nature at its effect by time. I like how the photo is taken with a lot of detail it is showing clearly the door and its paint getting off. The grass gives it a contrast because of the texture which is different.

Aged beauty:

It is printed on board and it is 55 x 41 Cm.

Why did I choose this: the doors which are antique fascinates me, the texture of them because you will not find them unless its there for a long time. The door is made of wood and it has the paint which is getting off and the rust from the metal and the water. The photo is amazing when you see it up close.

if you notice something they are printed on different material according to the photo.
