February 2006
La Petite Mort Gallery and Guy Berube, invite you to a vernissage of Clive Cretney’s “Platinum/Palladium Photographs”
Friday, February 3, 2006, 7-10pm at 306 Cumberland, Ottawa.
Artist Statement:
“The works altogether show a timeless quality that could be today or from another era back in history. Through them all is the strong graphic characteristic that binds them to me or could be looked upon as being a style. The images themselves are not meant to be shocking, earth shattering or show a lifetime of work. They are to be enjoyed when viewed, hopefully as much as it was when I photographed and printed them. The added pleasure for me was to participate in an historic printing process and leave my own piece of history on paper. In the end, maybe thats all we can leave behind.”
“The legacy one generation can give the next is the fact that it has existed…” (unknown)
Thank you,
Guy Berube, director
