Timothy Webby is a Tāmaki-based multidisciplinary artist, primarily working within photography. Within the current exhibition Chemistry at Coastal Signs, Webby presents works alongside artist Emma Mcintyre. In which webby showcases a body of Silver Gelatian prints, capturing these intimate moments that offer a glimpse into a kind of beauty.
Webby utilizes a method of hand colouring the silver gelatin prints, creating this uniquely beautiful image that pulls the image both back into itself as well as away from itself and into a painterly-like abstraction. Inserting sweeping movements of colour and texture into the captured image. Offering moments of connection between webby and Mcintyre respective practices. Moments of linkage, response, and chemistry.
Maya caught up Timothy Webby about the show, and overall practice.
