‘Intimate Timeline’ is an exhibition of photographic
work by two recent graduates of the North, Steve Longbottom
and Fran Halsall. The collections of work by these two talented
photographers explore how the use of light and time are fundamental
to the boundaries of photography and they both attempt to
create enigmatic images that simultaneously re-affirm and
breakdown such notions.
Steve Longbottom graduated from The University of Central
Lancashire in June this year, and this early debut into the
art scene shows his dedication and drive towards a promising
career. Steve works in both digital and analogue formats exploring
the presence and use of light within his work. His subjects
are asked to donate an image that relates to a time or an
event, this is then projected onto that person and both the
subject and their image are photographed in darkness.
‘I find myself obsessed with the abstract and identify
this quality in almost everything I photograph’…
Steve Longbottom.
Fran Halsall graduated in 2001 from Interactive Arts at Manchester
Metropolitan University. Since graduating she has spent time
developing her practise and exhibiting regularly. Fran produces
contemporary photography that is both alluring and conflicting.
The viewer is given a small taste of an image and left to
work out what it is. Fran uses long exposures to produce photographs
that are glowing with luminescent colour; the imagery is almost
ghost like and has a sense of something eerie about it whilst
at the same time retaining an elegant beauty in the composition
formed by colour and light.
