Cricket Saleh

Cricket Saleh is a photographer living and working in Newtown, Victoria.

She has a seemingly effortless ability to capture the feeling and atmosphere of a concept. Her photographs depict an ongoing interest in the ephemeral nature of life; beauty, indulgence, consumption and decay are underlying themes in her artwork.

In her arts practice Cricket explores the genre of Still Life, simultaneously referencing art, historical understandings of the medium and subverting it. She creates the illusion of a painted surface through considered lighting. Her works are crisp; simple compositions, tangible texture and moody tones.
