Ripples brings together photographic works by Susan Leway and Judi Dransfield Kuepper, two artists whose practices offer distinct but complementary perspectives. This much awaited exhibition has grown out of an extended creative exchange, shaped by shared photo shoots, gallery visits, and ongoing conversation.
From a chance meeting at a party over a decade ago, the pair have become close friends and creative collaborators. "Ripples" is the culmination of that connection — a thoughtful exhibition shaped by trust, dialogue, and mutual respect.
Photographer Glen O’Malley has also been involved from the start of this creative journey, mentoring, offering advice and encouragement along the way.
The title Ripples reflects the way ideas and impressions move — expanding gently, creating subtle shifts in understanding. It speaks to the reflective nature of both artists’ work and the slow unfolding of their collaborative process. Ripples is ultimately a celebration of process, connection and the quiet power of images to move and transform us. It invites us to consider how even a small visual moment can create a lasting impression.
Susan Leway captures the elegance of everyday moments with a refined compositional eye, drawing attention to detail, form, and spatial balance. Her images are pared back, precise, and attuned to the visual poetry of the ordinary. With clarity and restraint her photographs reveal commonplace objects and overlooked spaces that often pass unnoticed.
Judi Dransfield Kuepper delves into the layered and the lyrical, often blending photography with painting and drawing, across traditional and digital media. Her work creates visual fields rich in texture, mood, and metaphor, inviting deeper engagement and revealing meaning through complexity, ambiguity, and nuanced suggestion.
Together, their practices enter into a visual dialogue — distinct in tone, but closely in tune.
Hand-signed archival prints are available on archival matt cotton paper (sizes A4-A2).
