title
Feast
Feast explores the intimate connection and cultural obsession with food. In addition to the silver gelatin prints, the exhibition featured a collection of utilitarian objects that have been used in ceremonies and celebrations by an array of cultures.
The series of photographs capture the initial steps of a meal; the moment we grasp the food with our hands in anticipation of preparation. The absence of color was important to let the viewer take in the textures and raw form which is often forgotten upon consumption.
Reid's belief in herself has allowed her to chart a new course in life as a full-time professional artist and woman. As Dale transitioned through her new life journey, she developed technical skills, questioned convention, trusted her instincts, and with her passion, was able to craft a distinctive artistic voice. Her artwork ranges from classical to sensual to erotic and engages the viewer to question what they see.
Owning who we are, respecting and trusting our character, and engaging people has allowed Dale to be accepted as a respected woman and professional artist.
In this digitalized world of pop art photography, Dale's unique traditional monochromatic images contain elements of being a painting or graphite. The lack of color allows the viewer to focus on the variety of textures and the richness of interesting lines and shapes that engage in an elegant, visual synthesis in each photograph.
Reid developed her artistic style with a strong focus on creating landscape images ranging from maritime to urban to industrial views. Today, her artwork is primarily created in the studio where she imbues botanical subjects with unimaginable personality and emotion.
Dale has achieved international recognition through participation in solo and group exhibitions, receiving awards and having her artwork published in print and online.
Dale M Reid is currently based in Toronto, Canada.
