Noosa Regional GalleryThrowing ShadowsThrowing Shadows is an exhibition of works by Brisbane based artists, photographer Vivienne Kelly and jeweller Madeleine Brown. The works of both artists draw on elements of early scientific illustrations of microscopic marine forms, in particular those made by Biologist Ernst Haeckel. Brown and Kelly's works each explore the realationship between three dimensional structures and two dimensional secondary effects, glowing forms and ephemeral shadows. Presented in this exhibition are large scale coloured photographs sumptuously printed on velvety paper as well as wearable jewels in precious metals and carved bone. Exhibition dates - Thursday 2 September – Sunday 3 October - Official Opening Friday 3 September 2010, 6pm. Noosa Regional Gallery |

Queensland Centre for Photography, July 2007
"Vivienne Kelly uses the hidden wealth of the ocean floor to create hybrid terrestrial/oceanic landscapes, which border on the celestial. Radiant golden light illuminates her beautifully constructed worlds, casting fertile shadows across the imagined landscapes. For Kelly, light becomes a tool that is constuctive and symbolic. Suggestive of ancient life systems, her compositions are grounded in scientific observation and botanical research, re-imagined and re-invented as complex luminous habitats."

"Kelly's striking photographic series explores the relationship between lights, plants and photography. Using a variety of traditional photographic techniques, Kelly illuminates oceanic forms in an ephemeral landscape."

"Vivienne Kelly is a photographic artist who draws upon life from the ocean floor to create luminous organic forms. Conscious that the word 'photo' means 'light', Kelly draws our attention to the deep relationship between plants and light.
Kelly graduated with a Bachelor of Photography (First Class Honours) from QCA in (2007). She has exhibited extensively over the last year including 'Neo Eco' at the Redlands Art Gallery as part of the Queensland Festival for Photography (2006), and 'Photomorphogenisis' at the Queensland Centre for Photography (2007)."

EXTRACT Environments: Real and Imagined
"Approaching a photograph by Vivienne Kelly the viewer stumbles across glowing forms in the darkness, aquatic forms made of light, growing in landlubber's garden. Kelly describes her works as 'new' environments..... Reminiscent of exotic plant/animal life found on the ocean floor, her created organic constructions often stand amongst the average backyard assortment of flowers and grass. This juxtaposition draws attention to the structural formation of both the created and natural plant life within the photograph.... "
