Let There be Light
Let There be Light: The Black Swans of Ellen Carey is an essay by Donna Fleischer on the occasion of a 2014 exhibition of Ellen’s work at Akus Gallery. ‘Carey explores the darkroom in a manner in such opposition to traditional photography that her studio should be referred to as a light room. She manages to conceptualize two of the things we need to survive in this world, dark and light, to bring forth striking imagery that breaks down the mental barriers we have come to accept over time.’
