CAROLYN BUNT, through the discipline of photography and occasionally neon, is engaged intensely with the act of looking, generating a particular quietness and strength. The work sits between documentary photography and fine art, as she takes photographs and then manipulates them until they have a quiet power. Bunt is an natural artist who is more interested in suggesting than describing to the viewer so that conceptually they drift away from documentary photography into a phenomenon of discovery. How she composes her work magnifies its solitude. The artist's use of lighting and physical manipulation adds to its irresistibility. Her poetic use of neon has the same restrained urgency.
