PHOTOACCESS SHOW REVIEW
Canberra Times photography writer Peter Haynes has reviewed the Photoaccess group show calling it an "excellent exhibition full of many highlights".
He writes: "Another image of particular appeal to me is Emilio Cresciani's Through a glass darkly FRAGMENT #2 (Cat. 21). The singularity of the glass fragment sitting cleanly on its background of white was entrancing and captivating in its singularity."
