Jacky Redgate with her work, Buxton Contemporary, 2019.
JACKY REDGATE is featured in Bauhaus Now! at Buxton Contemporary.
Bauhaus experiments with photography have been reprised by Redgate, particularly those of Florence Henri, who used prisms and mirrors in order to exploit, as her Bauhaus teacher Moholy-Nagy explained, 'the ambiguities of present-day optical creations'. Redgate's images are created through repetitive flashes across variously sized circular mirrors. These four new works in her decade-long series are like a secular alter to light, recalling the intensity of Henri's photography.
These works were included in Redgate's solo exhibition at ARC ONE Gallery earlier this year. .
Bauhaus Now! continues until 20 October.
