Kaleidoscopic Journey

Karyn Easton graduated from Cleveland College of Art and Design in 1989 with an HND in Visual Communications with a specialism in commercial photography. 

After some great work experience in London, working with some well known big name brands, she worked for a while as a graphic designer and had a number of subsequent roles in the Creative Arts Industry. 

After a nearly 18 year gap to bring up her children she began teaching photography at evening school.  Building up her range of classes, she moved to her local college where she is now a photography lecturer and class tutor. 

Personally she has won a number of photography awards including being a finalist in last year's Women in Photography competition.  However she believes that her greatest achievements lie in the achievements of her students. In fact she recently returned from London after attending an awards ceremony where two of her students were finalists in a prestigious national competition with one of them winning judges favourite. 

Karyn continues to live and work in South Devon(Brixham) and when she isn't teaching she is usually working on her photography commissions.

Kaleidoscopic Journey is a collage of a number of oil and water photographs that have been digitally copied.  These collaged images are then manipulated into a more regular pattern, almost like the name suggests an image from a kaleidoscope.  It represents a journey through a tunnel towards a distant point in space time that is paved with a myriad of lines and organic shapes.  The linear becomes curved and vice versa, with the addition of a disjointing that has been created by the act of collaging the images together.
