黑料不打烊

Kate Breakey is best known for her hand colored of silver gelatin prints examining the fragility of life. The images on view from Breakey鈥檚 Las Sombras series exemplify this process while communicating 鈥榮tates of being鈥� via the postures posed by wildlife in each toned photogram. Golden Stardust, new work for Breakey, is an intriguing investigation into the use of gold as a material, and its meaning, throughout history. Here, 24 karat leaf is applied to common scenes and items 鈥� such as a nude, a piece of fruit, or a flock of birds 鈥� the addition of gold creates an unfamiliar experience touched by the surreal.Kate Breakey received the 鈥減hotographer of the year鈥� prize from the Houston Center for Photography in 2004, and has exhibited in more than 60 solo exhibitions across four continents. Breakey鈥檚 images can be found in the collections of the Australian National Gallery, The Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, and the Austin Museum of Art among others. Her photographic monographs include Small Deaths, Flowers/Birds, and Los Sombros. A native Australian, Breakey lives and works in Tucson, Arizona.
