Ceb’s stunning images in the frame at Frankston Arts Centre

Published on 05 July 2023

Peninsula-based artist Ceberio (Ceb) Johnson was thrilled to win first place in the 2022 Open Exhibition at Frankston Arts Centre for his joyous photographic self-portrait titled Ceb and Early, in which he embraces his equally happy rescue dog, Early. The artwork was recognised for the joy and spontaneity of its subjects and captured Ceb’s remarkable fortitude and optimism.

As a blind photographer, Ceb asks his audience to be his eyes: “I take the photo of my moments, then they see the moment for me.”

Ceb presents a photographic exhibition titled Your Eyes. My Heart at Frankston Arts Centre, featuring images taken during a recent trip back to his birthplace in the Northern Territory.

“Last time I was there I could see everyone and everything. I know what everything look like so I know what I’m taking pictures of but not exactly. It was hard making sure the camera is straight and not wonky. I hope people feel like they are in red sand with me seeing what I can feel. You feel it out there, like you can feel the ocean here.”

To explore the works in Your Eyes. My Heart, visit us at the Frankston Arts Centre during open hours before Saturday, August 19. Entry is free. Click here for more information.
