‘Penumbral Tales’ brings together nine contemporary South Australian photographers exploring the idea of the ‘periphery’ – the realm of the outsider, fringe dweller and the marginalised.
Taking inspiration from historical painting, these artists push the documentary and expressive powers of their medium in analogue and digital formats to construct powerful vignettes of everyday life beyond the so-called mainstream of modern times. Artists include, Alice Blanch, Odette England, Gee Greenslade, Mark Kimber, Sue Kneebone, Hailey Lane, Deborah Paauwe, C.J. Taylor and James Tylor. ‘Penumbral Tales’ is a Flinders University Art Museum exhibition curated by Mark Kimber and presented for the 2015 South Australian Living Artists Festival.
