Ann Shelton: The strip
Eaf, Adelaide
Ann has documented aspects of the social
environment of Auckland's Karangahape Road
for the past several years. Her book REDEYE
was a closeup view of her social milieu, the
series 'Abigail's Party' documented the lush
interiors of the places in which she and her
friends lived. THE STRIP is a new installation
work that incorporates aerial photography,
lightboxes and a field of classic 1960s carpet to
present a different conceptual take on urban
space.
The exhibition is accompanied by a spunky
die-cut catalogue with an essay by Chris
Chapman.
Ann Shelton currently lectures in photography at
Manukau School of Art and Design, Auckland.
She has exhibited in New Zealand, Scotland and
Japan and her work was recently shown at the
Australian Centre for Photography http://www.acp.au.com/web/index.htm in Sydney.
