We have had an excellent response to our proposed open studio exhibition for Oxfordshire Artweeks festival. The exhibition, entitled Developing Vision, will open between 10am and 5pm from 15 - 23 May and promises photographic work of a high standard ranging from Documentary style work to Fine Art and Experimental pieces. On the Documentary side of photography we will have work from Jenny Waddell (IB82) who his submitting photographs taken in Kenya. We will also have work from Jasmine Waddell (no relation of Jenny), a post-graduate student at St Anthony’s College, Oxford, who is currently Warden of one of the IB houses at St Clare’s. Her black and white photographs document the lives of teachers and students in Ilitha Junior Secondary School in Mount Frere, Eastern Cape, who walk miles every day from one-room shacks and child headed households to school and a vision of a new South Africa. On the Fine Art and Experimental side of photography we will have work from Andi Whiting who is currently running the weekly Creative Photography sessions in our new darkroom at 121 Banbury Road. He has produced a series of new pieces of work for this exhibition in which he has been exploring the possibilities of digital technology. We will also have work from David Chaplin who uses photography to explore a mystical or transcendental vision of our environment. In this section we also have work from Chris Ndhlovu who was a founder member of STEP (St Clare’s Tanzanian Education Project). He now running a photographic company called Qrizma Images Ltd. (website www.qrizmaimages.co.uk) and will be showing examples of his multi-exposure photographs for this year’s exhibition. There will also be work from current IB2 Visual Arts students Photography has been chosen as the focus to mark the opening of the new darkroom facility at 121 Banbury Road earlier this year. Photography is one of our regularly over-subscribed activities and we wanted to give current students a chance to show their work in a public exhibition alongside works by staff, former students and guest photographers. Alumni contributors also include: Kristan Horn (IB89), Camilla Sykes (IB90), Bita Majd (IB01), and Chris Ndhlovu (IB02).
