'I do not use the camera to describe objects but to explore their ambiguity. When I photograph a tree I am as much concerned with its inner force as I am with its "treeness". I am continually surprised that these inner forces reveal a unity at odds with their outer duality.' [John Cato]. Cato [1926-2011] was the son of renowned Australian photographer, Jack Cato. He commenced his career as a commercial photographer, but gained his high reputation as a fine art photographer and teacher. Item #160802
