Anna C. PettigrewAnna C. Pettigrew’s photographic work often takes on an almost 2 dimensional expression, where large landscape scenes or cityscapes are viewed graphically as blocks of colour, texture and shape. By flattening the subject matter, the viewer is presented with a photograph which reflects that of a theatre set, or a movie still. The work mimics in this way a painterly method, taking reference in the laws of traditional composition and arrangement- that of the Golden Ratio, where lines are placed on The Divine Proportions thus creating harmony and balance within the frame.
Anna C. Pettigrew was born in Scotland in 1984 to Scottish/Danish parents and moved to Denmark in 1990. After returning to Scotland in 2001 she completed her BA (hons) in Photography at Edinburgh College of Art.
