Vivid ---National Photography Festival-- in Canberra. The Church Gallery has an exhibition of alternative photographic processes.
Silvi Glattauer for instance, has a particular interest in the 'fine print' produced by a contemporary photogravure technique for translating her imagery. A unique blend of digital with the hand made print, the photogravure encourages textures, tones, forms, light and shadows.
