CANBERRA TIMES REVIEW
The Canberra Times have done a review of my State of Change exhibition: “Emilio Cresciani’s exhibition at Photo Access .. impressive photo-media.” “The images are spectacular, particularly those presented on Duraclear. The Duratrans in light boxes are also dramatic.” “PhotoAccess Director Kirsten Wehner rightly says, ‘cutting-edge exhibition showcasing what the (Dark Matter) program aims to foster; a challenged perception of what contemporary darkroom photography can offer.’" https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6988701/cutting-edge-shows-challenge-senses/?cs=14257

FROZEN PHOTOS WORKSHOP
I’m running a workshop at Photo Access Canberra on 7 November in conjunction with my exhibition State of change. I’ll introduce my climate change inspired artwork on show in the Huw Davies Gallery, and then guide participants through making photograms with ice.
More details: https://www.photoaccess.org.au/learn/classes/frozen-photos/
EXHIBITION OPENING
The opening of my new exhibition State of Change at Photo Access Huw Davies Gallery in Canberra is 15 October 6-8 pm.
The new series explores the relationship between ice and light, transformation literally, figuratively and abstractly. I wanted to draw links between light and perception, water and change, referring both to the melting ice caps and photographic processes.
The works were created as part of my 2020 Dark Matter Residency at PhotoAccess.
