Julia Campisi is a photo-based artist living in Toronto. She draws her inspiration from photo collections, history and analogue techniques. Her work is rooted in the need to understand photography and explore its inherent structure. The subtle manipulations found in her work generates a new authentic image that address issues associated with representation and authorship. Her hand-made collages encompass the surrealist impulse of simplistic combinations that rejuvenates the forms associated with 1960s abstract paintings. Extending the collage with sculpture and synthetic materials has allowed her to use space as a form of communication between image and object. By distorting the use of material and photo, her collages go back in history and take images that were iconic and bring them into a space where everything is relevant, all at once, and in any order you like. Her passion lies in taking ideas that existed before us and creating a new message the explores process, form and photography.
Sandy Carson is a Scottish photographer who emigrated to the United States in 1993 to pursue cycling, and enjoyed a 15 year career traveling the world as a professional cyclist, where he honed his skills as a photographer. Carson’s photography explores sensitive cultural issues of American consumerism and the social landscape with a scrutiny particular to one who was born and raised in another country. Constantly at play in his photographs is an irony born from the juxtaposition of disparate elements, a duality that consistently informs his viewpoint and is an intrinsic element of his work. Carson’s photography examines a specific and personal segment of American life with a bent simultaneously absurd and poignant.
