9 November meeting

Guest Speaker: Graeme Web

Graeme returned to photography in 2008 after many years of working in film and video post production. He discusses his journey in photography through his use of 35mm, large format, low tech plastic cameras and pinhole photography over the past 30 years. He is now known for his constructed 'staged' images or 'microworlds'.

He was introduced to the miniature diorama genre by exposure to stop motion animation. This recent work is highly personal and revolves around childhood memories, fantasies and relationships. The meticulously detailed images play with elements of scale, texture and lighting and the never ending cycle of nature modifying man's achievements. He has exhibited at the Barbican, the Cottons Center, Holborn Studios, the Strand Gallery and Linear House. His pictures are also held in private collections.

His influences include the filmmakers Stephen and Timothy Quay and Jiri Barta.

Graeme's current exhibition at the Linear House Gallery, Peyton Place, Greenwich SE10 8RS runs until 14th November 2010.

This promises to be a very unique and entertaining evening, please arrive for a prompt 8pm start. Guests are welcome.
