Caroline Cockrell

Photography – Raleigh

Caroline is a Durham native who has lived in Raleigh for the past eight years. She is rarely without her camera. Photography has always been Caroline\'s way of capturing the beauty she finds in ordinary and unexpected places. This past year she began sharing her work with a wider audience. Her current work features bold, abstract images with a focus on bright colors, mixed with unusual patterns and textures. The wording below each picture is a brief description for the particular object or location from which the photograph was taken. Most of the photos depict everyday, ordinary subject matter that would normally be considered deconstructed or unpleasant to the naked eye. She composes her photographs in such a way that the once \"unpleasant\" view becomes aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching. Her intent is to give these objects the appearance of an abstract painting with intense colors and designs. Caroline hopes that through the eye of her camera, mundane objects can become extraordinary.
