Threshold exhibition gallery, catalogue, opening and visitor comments.
The photographic exhibition “Threshold” captures instances of interactions with one of Albany’s much loved icons, the Middleton Beach Pontoon. At face value the imagery celebrates those halcyon summer days spent frolicking at this glorious location, whilst the narrative explores our shared experience and journey.
In this series the photographer identifies the surface of the ocean as a line to be crossed. It could represent a milestone, a coming of age, a fear overcome. It could represent the beginning of life or ultimately the end.
Our deliriously joyful subjects take the plunge, perhaps tentatively, bravely, with measure or with free abandon.
The ocean’s surface delineates the obvious dry from wet, but reverberates the journey from past to future, childhood to adulthood, innocence to knowledge.
The plunge demands commitment, guarantees no return and presents endless possibilities.
