Alex Coley

Something About Windows is an experiment in abstraction captured with a digital pinhole camera and extension of Another Window Series (2011). Pinhole photographs of windows are adapted to screenprint with the help of printmaker, Pudy Tong at Open Studio Contemporary Printmaking Centre. In Something About Windows abstracted views distract from reality and celebrate a new perspective. The series is painterly, emotive and mystifying.

Alex Coley is a photo-based artist from Toronto. She holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Visual Studies from the University of Toronto and a graduate certificate in Photography from NSCAD University. Her photography practice is process-based, often interdisciplinary and references the history of photography. To Alex, there is honesty to be found in work that is laborious and tangible. She has exhibited at Gallery 44, Queen West Art Crawl, Gladstone Hotel and Gallery 1313. After a decade departure, she returns to her practice with a refreshed lens and permission to change.
