SWAY:LAURA JANE PETELKO PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION 


SWAY is a captivating experience of emotions and movements conveyed in images. LJP has succinctly captured the moment “in between”. Her ethereal work celebrates unknown layers.The blurry, hazy disconnect between reality and imagined worlds. LJP allows the viewer to be untethered from conventional norms of viewing fine art photography.

SWAY represents a unique fusion of Petelko’s “Phototropic” series and selected images from the current “Nightlife.” This combined work explores humanity\’s relationship with and yearning for nature in an increasingly technological world. While “Phototropic” focuses on nature’s inclination towards light, demonstrating its resilience and beauty, \”Nightlife\” delves deeper, embracing the raw essence of photography. In “Nightlife,” Petelko manually illuminates natural spaces, creating slightly surreal landscapes that evoke imagination and inner reflection. Both series invite viewers to engage in a poetic interpretation of the captured images, encouraging contemplation on the evolving connection between nature, art, and our inner landscapes.
