Gallery 1 - Following the success of Stuart Duff's exhibition of seascapes View from a Window, the blackShed gallery is excited to welcome Stuart back with his new project. Duff's simple approach to photography, stripping back complex methodology and capturing the integral beauty of what he photographs, honesty and without fuss, fails escape from this new work. Taken at his father's toolroom, his father a retired toolmaker, My Fathers Craft is a series of enlarged silver gelatin prints of his father's trusty tools, ethereal objects of a by-gone craft. All the photographs have been shot using 10x8 film and printed by one of the UK's most recognized and acclaimed photographic printer Robin Bell. Gallery 2 - Tomorrow Never Knows is a selection of new work resulting from the completion of one year's photographs taken from Duff's apartment window in St.Leonards on Sea, a continuation of the View from a Window. Duff is an award winning photographer originally from Dunfermline, Scotland. He has worked with Lord Snowdon, Lester Bookbinder, Phil Jude and Doris Kloster in London, and though he is still based in London he currently lives along the East Sussex South Coast. |
