'Phototgraphy is ... drawing with light and that is my greatest interest' Olive Cotton, 1988
In 1996, after a lifetime of artistic achievement, Olive Cotton packed up her studio in Cowra for the last time. For more than 30 years, the studio had been the very centre of her life in photography. The move to her new home and the subsequent sorting of her belongings brought to light a substantial amount of previously unknown material, including outstanding vintage prints and biographical and contexual items.
This important retrospective exhibition showcases Olive Cotton's finest works, including the most famous images, Tea cup ballet and Glasses.
Her abiding love of nature, astute powers of observation, democratic approach to her subject matter and her enduring interest in patterning and light are evident in this exquisite exhibition of Australian photography.
