Photographic & digital works

This exhibition, selected by museum director, Linda Frickman and collector Mark Addison, focuses on works that utilize photographic, digital and other media-based processes.
Challenging our perceptions of the world
Reflection, Refraction, Reconfiguration looks at images that – through the lens of the camera, through digital manipulation, or through the hands of the artist – change and challenge perceptions of the world.
