   Crikey! Candid, Co…

   
   

   July 15, 2025 06:00 PM      July 16, 2025 12:00 AM

   This event begins 2025-07-15 and repeats every week on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 2025-08-03

   
   

   Clare Palmer and Anne McCarthy use photography as a starting point for a fresh perspective on everyday life.  This unusual mix of street photography and digital art encourages viewers to reconsider what they see through humour, irony, and unexpected details.   
   Reception: Saturday, July 19, 3-5 pm.  
   Victoria’s one and only Gage Gallery Arts Collective is excited to present Crikey!, a bold new photo-based show featuring original works by Gage members Clare Palmer and Anne McCarthy.   
   This is the first time these two artists are exhibiting together.  As the only two photography - based artists at the Gage, they have found that their work complements each other and enhances creative exploration.  Crikey! developed from Clare and Anne walking and talking through the streets of Victoria with their cameras.  Each artist brings her unique perspective to the exhibition. 
   Clare Palmer mainly works in street photography and mixed media. She loves to look up and around as she walks; capturing unexpected textures and zeroing in on oddities. Her photography has minimal editing, so the rawness stands out.  Clare says, “I’m inspired by the street, the natural world and my life experiences.  My goal is to invite you, the viewer, to enter the image and explore it with me.” 
   Anne McCarthy's digital works incorporate her own photography into digital art using Photoshop. This is a continuation of work done in the late 70’s when she used non-silver photographic methods and acrylic paint. She works primarily with Adobe digital tools.  
   Gage Gallery, 19 Bastion Square, Victoria
   Hours: Tuesdays to Sundays, 11:00 to 17:00
