Juli Lowe takes us inside the gallery's viewing room and gives us an intimate look at the work of Kate Breakey.
"The piece are orotones, which is a historical process, but Kate Breakey has a contemporary take on it. The photograph is made out of glass, and then it's backed my gold leaf. That gold leaf reflects so much light." - Juli Lowe

"I was struck by the beauty and brightness of the depth of Orotones," says Breakey, "which were first made in the early 20th century by, among others, Pillsbury and Edward Curtis. My work is a contemporary version of an Orotone. The image a digitally printed on UV Art glass with 24kt gold leaf applied to the back."
