Kimberley Powell
Initially interested in humorous or strange juxtapositions of people, places and things, Kim Powell’s photographic maturity shifted and the basis of her work is now centred upon playing with shapes and light. This distillation process began a number of years ago when she chose 'An Ordinary' as a theme for her degree show. Taking seemingly mundane objects or activities in everyday life and (sometimes literally) putting them in the spotlight is what engages her most now. This has caused her photography to become highly introspective, personal, meditative and even therapeutic. The emphasis on emotional connectivity and strong visual compositions is what truly characterises her work.
Kimberley Powell was born 1983 in Hamburg to English/Dutch parents and was educated in The Hague, The Netherlands, until moving to Edinburgh in 2002 to study photography at Edinburgh College of Art.
