Photographer David Noble has set aside his camera for a new exhibition of images at the Emporium Art Gallery in Lichfield
David who is the course leader for the BA(Hons) Photography at Staffordshire University has created intricate, painterly images of decaying vegetables, flowers and garden detritus, with the use of a flatbed scanner.
He explains,
To begin with this was a very strange experience as a photographer, no camera or looking through a viewfinder, just an empty screen to fill piece by piece and all in reverse order.
This intriguing exhibition of scanography entitled ‘Mutability’, will run from Saturday 30 August to Saturday 20 September 2014, at Emporium Art Gallery, Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Gallery Opening Hours: Tues-Sat 10am-5pm
