Time and Memory

Gary Castle

April 3 – 27, 2014

Established photographer, Gary Castle exhibits a series of photo collages emerging from his archives in the corridor gallery from April 3 – 27. Describing his process and the series, Castle explains:

As long as I can recall I have had a love, hate relationship with still photography, mainly, my still photography. When I do make an image that pleases me artistically, I immediately have the urge to manipulate it. Scratch it, paint on it, photocopy it, tear it, reassemble it so it can move. Then I love photography again. This exhibit is a result of my manipulations on thirteen new images and some rehashed older stills from my files with the theme, “Time and Memory.”

Gary Castle has been a professional photographer for over 45 years.  Graduating with a diploma in Photographic Theory in 1967, he began his career working at Dalhousie University as a bio-medical photographer.  Since 1981 he has operated his own photo lab and photographic service.  From 1995 he has been focused on art, writing and photographic collage work.

Located inside the Visual Arts Nova Scotia (VANS) office at the Halifax Seaport, since 2000, the Corridor Gallery is complimented by a historical legacy of Nova Scotia culture, simple yet modern architectural elements and an array of current cultural activity in the Cultural Federations of Nova Scotia office. The Corridor Gallery is located at 1113 Marginal Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia and is open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
