Familiar by Xanthe Kittson

Birds of Prey. Enchanted. Fire and Ice.

These are some of the names for the photography collections by Richmond resident Xanthe Kittson, who opens a solo exhibit in the Mezzanine Gallery at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts on Friday night.

Titled Myths, the series continues to play on Kittson’s themes of dreams and nightmares, fairy tales and horror shows, and human fears — with contrasting real and surreal worlds.

A student at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Kittson picked up the camera at 14 at the recommendation of her high school photography teacher.

Now, she creates conceptual and creative portraits as seen this photo called Familiar.
