On Choosing Excellence
A photographic exhibition by Sezgin Kemal
Jan 4th to February 1st 2007



Open evening 4th Jan 7.30 to 9.30pm

Sezgin Kemal, Head of English at Newstead Wood School, has enjoyed the creative part of her work as well as the successful academic. Her ‘Writer in residence’ programme, running for over 16 years, has established the school as a forerunner in examining creative processes: she enjoys mind mapping, brain storming, visualization and working with imagery.

In her collage work, displayed at Ripley, she used the psychologist’s eye for exploring visualization in direction setting. ‘Streams Of Consciousness’ for example will capture a moment of reality crystallizing it to hard copy. ‘Nostalgia’ looks back to a 1950’s rural England and ‘Philosophy’ again suggests the distinctive threads marking the intellect.

Sezgin’s collaboration with David Wood, the photographer and member of the Royal Society of Photographers, marks a rich and positive initiation into new territories of image and meaning.
