This exhibition is a journey into the photographic vision of Matty McDonnell and Tyler Duncan. Tyler works using Cyanotype, an alternative printing process using plants to create a blue saturated dye utilising UV light. This exhibition demonstrates the many variations this technique can produce and will, they hope, raise awareness of it and in that way ensure it survives into the future.
Matty McDonnell invites you to walk alongside him in his journey through Tunisia. See this journey through his high contrast black and white street photography, documenting this country’s condition after years of damage caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.
