Eccentric Montage

Photo of the month — announcing…
Contact Photography Festival comes to Toronto Island

Prickly pain no.4, from series of new images in my gallery box on Wards Island in May 2024

For this year’s Contact Photography Festival, I will be showing new work at home! Curator Kate Lawler-Dean from Gallery Little Red has organized a small group of Toronto Island photographers to show our work in some of the gallery boxes scattered around Wards Island. The theme is (de)generate, which is interpreted in many ways by the artists.

A cancer diagnosis and the resulting treatments last year was a stark reminder for me of how fragile and painful life can be. In Contact 2024, This new series likens the pain of recovery to the prickly thorns of the cactus. As one ages, body components and whole systems degenerate. Joints seize up, aches and pains abound, bits and pieces sicken and wither. The ultimate indignity of having a body part removed is overshadowed by constant prickliness, both physical and mental.

I am available to meet with you for a tour any time — please contact me at eliza_moore@yahoo.com to make an appointment.

May 1 to 31, 2024 — any time

Work in progress — Great Lakes corners

In my travels around Canada’s Great Lakes, one of the things I like best is the corners — where you can move along the shore and get different views of the same bridges or buildings or landscapes.

This constructed image shows the Burlington skyway and the lift bridge from both the north shore and south shore of Lake Ontario.

I’m currently working on more “corner constructions” and hope to one day have enough for a small book.
