TWO EXHIBITIONS
Transient Light
An exhibition of landscape photography by
Marianne Lim & Dylan Toh
Malaysian born photographers Marianne Lim and Dylan Toh see light as the defining element in their nature photography. Without it, there would be no ambience, no emotional connection and certainly no images to make.
They aspire to the same goal - to bring to the viewer images of their experiences as they recall them, from exotic locations visited over the years.Dylan grew up loving the outdoors and being active, a trait evident in his photographic endeavours. He is always up for a physical challenge, and has climbed munros, waded through icy streams, and hiked to locations inaccessible to all but those on foot in order to capture unique imagery. His wide, sweeping vistas capture the grandeur of the natural landscape and strike in viewers a sense of awe and wonder that such beauty exists in the world.
Marianne is influenced heavily by colourful, visual media and became interested in photography primarily to take better reference images for her artwork. Her photography is now separate artistic interest, and she likes to look for the finer details in the landscape as well as capturing the bigger picture.
“We want to share the rare moments we have captured on camera when all the preparation has paid off and everything has magically fallen into place.” they say. “In landscape nature photography, there is nothing more satisfying than catching an iconic location in the right light.
Hours of preparation go into making the one image, whether it is prior research, hiking to a viewpoint in the early hours of pre-dawn or simply waiting for the perfect conditions.”
Examples of their work can be seen on their website: www.everlookphotography.com

Illuminated Colour
Artworks in various media by
Margo Hanka
Margo is a South Australian artist and a visual art teacher, who is inspired and intrigued by light and colour and how it can be tonally formed to enhance shapes to create vibrancy and luminosity.
She works mainly in oils on canvas but has also worked with acrylic and her drawing studies are coloured using Prisma colour pencils.Margo holds particular interest in native cultures in North, Central & South America and has visited many of these areas to obtain greater insight into the use of media, pattern and colour displayed in the traditional and contemporary arts and crafts.
During recent travels she was stimulated by the colour and translucence of the rounded Indian and Russian trade beads in museums and galleries, and has been inspired to paint them to highlight their form and decorative qualities.
Her leaf and grape series evolved through the seasonal changes of colour and light at different times of the year. “I am interested in capturing the roundness of the grape shapes and the transparency of the fruit with the light behind them, and the bloom forming onto the skin surface” Margo says.
Margo has taught for the last 20 years at Walford School for girls, and has worked in a range of media and techniques including drawing, etching, natural fibre basketry and pottery; as well as painting in acrylic and oils.
