A Bright Haunting

In August 2017 Caroline Jane Harris was selected by curator and writer Paul Carey Kent for the second ASC Studios Summer Open Exhibition and was awarded the prize of a solo show at ASC Gallery in June 2018. A Bright Haunting features works made from 2017–18 that continue and extend Harris’ exploration of the expanded photographic medium and image-making process, in dialogue with printmaking and drawing. The artist posits photographic ideas and concepts in relation to the medium’s history and current possibilities, layering interplays between analogue and digital processes, traversing 2 and 3 dimensions. The exhibition features hand-cut digital prints, rubbings and etched-copper plates made from the paper-cut stencils.

'Beauty and substance is the winning combination achieved by Caroline Jane Harris's intricate analogue processing of digital sources, which call on photographic, printmaking, drawing and sculptural techniques to explore how we code and screen the world'. Paul Carey Kent
