Tracy Currie

Tracy Currie finds beauty and magic in the mundane, using photography and digital manipulation to reveal the hidden worlds that exist right under our noses. What started as curiosity about the microscopic world in nature has evolved into a practice of transformation, turning familiar subjects into something that feels both recognizable and completely unexpected.

Working with vibrant colours and dramatic contrasts, Tracy intensifies what is already there but often overlooked. A piece of fruit might reveal patterns that resemble our own inner bodies, or a wood surface could look like the neural networks of a brain. These aren’t accidents. They are discoveries waiting to happen when you look closely enough.

Her process involves careful digital enhancement that brings out details the naked eye would miss. She also manipulates some of her photos by shifting the perspective of the original capture. There are also times when a simple point and shoot has been sufficient to create images that feel both scientific and artistic. The goal isn’t to trick the viewer, but to invite them to see familiar things with fresh eyes and perhaps walk away noticing more in their own daily lives.

Tracy’s work has been shown at The Art Hub at Spring in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario (2024) and a private exhibition in Montréal, Quebec (2023).

Through her lens, the ordinary becomes evocative—proof that extraordinary beauty exists everywhere if we just take the time to really look.
