Tom Drysdale's images, from the series Sticks and Stones , plays with the relationship between perception and deception. Editha Mesina's self portraits combine personal and cultural identity with art historical references. Alexander Heilner's work is part of a large-scale collaboration, with Linda Samuels and six other photographers, comprising 20,000 postcards featuring 40 different images. Mark Jenkinson's photographs explore the relationship between the formality of portrait photography and the intimacy of personal relationships. Barbara Weissberger's graphite drawings of biomorphic forms and figural representations refer to illustration and comic-book style and explore psychological themes.
