Exhibition of images from acclaimed American photographer Mary Kocol. These richly coloured garden compositions, have been photographed at dusk with prolonged exposures, so transforming the mundane into the fantastic. This quality is further emphasised by her occasional use of a plastic lens toy camera, producing images in which she uses the camera's imperfections and its vagaries of focus.
