| Description : | In her current series, entitled 'as if there were grace,' Pelkey has discarded traditional notions of documentary altogether. Although the photographs appear to document particular sites and the texts appear to be records of oral history, any attempt to read the works as straight documents is dispelled by the oppressive, claustrophobic atmosphere and dramatic lighting of the images and the disturbing tone of the texts. The texts, many of which are in the third person, consist of abbreviated narratives of events people recounted to Pelkey while she was engaged in the production of the photographs, and, as such, resist the viewer's attempt to identify them as being the artist's voice or the singular voice of a real or fictional narrator. The images present mundane scenes that have been made to appear hyperreal through the use of theatrical lighting, saturated colours, and disturbing contrasts of light and dark."
