Kye Marshall, brings to her photography her experience and discipline as a musician and music psychotherapist
Kye Marshall brings to her photography her experience and discipline as a musician and music psychotherapist. As in composing, colour, rhythm, line and form influence her photographs. As an improviser, Marshall plays/photographs spontaneously, very much in the moment, and then manipulates that material to create a musical score or a photoshopped image. Tape loops create multiple exposures; layering adds reverb.
As a psychotherapist, Marshall uses music to express the domain of the inner self that is not accessible to language. Marshall extends this philosophy to photography. In her images, she explores the relationship between the visible, the spiritual and the symbolic. Like the abstract nature of music, Marshall abstracts images derived from nature and elsewhere. These become metaphors for the unconscious. For Marshall, photography expands both inner and outer worlds; it uses the imagination to re-invent ways of seeing and being in the world.
