Pat Brassington - 'A Perfect Day'

Stills gallery in Sydney is committed to exhibiting Australian contemporary photographic work. I was lucky enough to attend a previous exhibition that included a selection of works from female artist Pat Brassington's series 'A Perfect Day'. Brassington pushes the limits of photography as a medium, challenging the notion that a photograph captures a snippet of reality through digital manipulation. A distinctive theme within Brassington's oeuvre is her beguiling surrealistic imagery. The colour palette within the series makes reference to a kind of post apocalyptic scenario, with a theatrical staging of figures which evokes both the unconscious and the absurd.
