Artist Bio
Sandra Elms was mostly a graphic designer and sometimes a photographer. Over the last decade she had spent a bit more time on photography, and since 2009 had been exhibiting her work on a regular basis. Photography had grown and evolved as a means of expression, offering a way to sustain creativity, explore ideas and along the way maybe make a little sense of the world.
 
Artist Statement (by Tony Kearney)
Sandra and I would often go exploring the Port after dinner, walking around between when the sun went down and when blackness truly took over, me with my medium format film cameras on a tripod and she with her mobile. A place we often visited was No2 Dock where the last two double-hooked, level-luffing, electric cranes survive, me taking long, wide angle exposures that took in the movement of the sky, and she moving around taking multiple exposures that told much more of the story and of the importance of place. Her vision and compositional skills were always second to none, her design sensibilities shone through on whatever subject she pointed a lens at. She loved the Port and loved seeing it the way she/we did. She was a natural.
