John Cogan has written an appreciation of Dianne Owen, the acclaimed photographic artist, who gave an enthusiastically well received talk to Durham Photographic Society 29th March 2012.
John writes, “Adhering to a set of self-imposed restrictions, Dianne takes only what her camera offers. The serendipity of what appears on the screen is what she accepts and works with. There is no second chance: if the image isn’t “THERE” then it’s consigned to the recycle bin. With her music playing ... she imports her own brushes; arranges her elements adding and subtracting until the symphony becomes clear. Her work, when complete, is tight and subtle and her objectives well-defined... yet, how instinctive is her work? Is there a master-plan? Apparently not! It is what “happens” that counts.”
