hidden exhibition melinda mccarthy

venue: Momma Cherri's Big House.
2-3 Little East St, Brighton, BN1 1HT

"Hidden" is a series of photographs capturing incense smoke and exploring the idea that burning it creates a path between the earthly world and spirit world. After taking the photographs, I realised how this idea may have come about. All taken with film, when I got the photos processed, I really could start to see images within the plumes, as often you do when watching clouds in the sky.

The exhibition itself, ran for the month of May 2007 at Momma Cherri's Big House in Brighton United Kingdom.

While the exhibition iteslf is over, images are still available for purchase. All images are 10x15” photographic prints and are in limited editions of 25 per image. If you are interested in any of the images, please contact the artist
