Infinite Image explores the infinite malleability of the digital image.
 
For many years, Fereday has re-photographed small details of magazine advertisements to resemble classic 'UFO photos', which she presents alongside suspended glass and metal plates that also mimic UFO forms. Her arrangements of suspended mirrors and plates, along with the shadows and refracted shapes they cast onto the gallery walls, evoke the displacement of desire through the allure of commodity fetishism. They 'earth' the photographic imagery, sharing their correlation of shape, and re-presenting their banal materiality as spectacle.
 
If the object of photography is the illusion of the object and a reflection of our desire for the image, then in the digital era that object is vast in ambition and infinite in potential.
