Alex Coley

The Window Series is an experiment in abstract photography. The series challenges what is beautiful and for how long. Abstracted views of windows are captured with expired 35 mm colour film, post processed in Adobe Photoshop and printed on rag paper. The images are monochromatic, painterly, emotive and mystifying. In The Window Series, abstracted views are reframed to distract and distance from reality.

Alex Coley is photo-based artist and printmaker in 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 tangible and made with her hands like a darkroom print or screenprint. She has exhibited at Gallery 44, Queen West Art Crawl, Gladstone Hotel and Gallery 1313. This is her third time exhibiting with Spectra.
