Passages II - Silver Gelatin 16'' x 20'' Eleanor Kerr’s photographs cover a wide range of subjects, but share as a consistent theme the interplay of nature both at its most vulnerable and its most resolute. With these intimate organic relationships revealed, Eleanor’s work revels in the textures of stones large and small, and in sky wherever it is found, either hinted at behind clouds, lying reflected within a tranquil pool or merely suggested by a curl of flora. Eleanor has said that she is inspired to draw back the curtain on the mysteries of the natural world in her work. In doing so, she opens our eyes to show us how much we have yet to discover. Whether it is within the intimate patterns found in rock and water, or the wider realm of a hillock, Eleanor’s photography frames moments of transition for us, and it is in these instances of conversion that we recognize our own parallel yearning for growth. Her work reconnects us to nature and generously insists that we have a special place in its inscrutable design. If there is any single aspect to Eleanor’s work that resonates the strongest, it is this generosity. Eleanor shares the landscapes that she has discovered on her artistic journey, and in doing so, she encourages us to explore the corresponding realm within ourselves.
