Light Interactions exhibition at Ironbark Gallery in Strathfield Library is showing until 19th December 2022. https://www.strathfield.nsw.gov.au/event/light-interactions-bernadette-smith/

Light is both the subject matter and material of my art which visually investigates diffractions or the bending of sunlight through translucent materials such as 19^th Century glass window panes. As wavelength components of white light bend at different angles within the undulating glass they converge at various focal points separating into colours and patterns. In this liminal zone of uncertainty light bounces around transforming itself in a process of disintegration. The window pane thus becomes a transformative lens through which to contemplate this vital non-human world creating a meditative field within the photograph.
