Balancing Act-Tightrope Walker

Balancing Act by Katie Cooke

Katie Cooke's exhibition Balancing Act had a great buzz about it on Saturday at the opening of the show. Katie gave a talk about her photographic processes, homemade pin-hole cameras and the very personal inspiration behind the works. She talked candidly about her two hip operations and the re-learning to walk and stand she had to endure,which resulted in the work she created for the show.
Her "spellbinding" images were a delight to view echoed by the comments of the public and press alike.
Katie Cooke's Balancing Act has a fantastic review in today's Scotsman Newspaper(7/7/10)
