Betties in The Canberra Times

Betties on Show

Another review has come in for Kerry Baylor and Susan Stayer's respective solo shows. In The Canberra Times, Charly Ogilvie describes the works as "two affectionate portraits of place", adding that both shows "reflect assurance and skill".

Ogilvie appears to understand Kerry's use of cross-processed film to get a punchy, super-saturated and vintage look. She also seems to view Kerry's tribute to her suburban home of Watson as one of tough love, where life is shown warts and all.

Ogilvie seems particularly taken with what she describes as Susan's "visual love letter" to the beautiful Dunbarton Oaks, praising the photographer's precise vision and careful selection of images.

Go Betties!
