To Maida’s eye black and white photography holds the most elemental, or organic, expression of a form, and applying the chiaroscuro principle is a way to elevate the mood and elicit emotion. These are images of the mundane have been rendered as “something more” through the manipulation of light and shadow. This exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery.
