Motion Study observes the assumed anonymity of people as they move about the city streets. Isolated segments and blurred interactions convey clues to the person as a whole.
Captured on 120mm transparency film using a HOLGA camera.
Drape considers the forms that emerge from the folds, twists and creases in drapery. Rhythmic lines, geometric shapes and shadows hint at a presence within. Sensuality, drama, and quiet disposition are characteristics that emanate from different configurations.
Drapery can insist on revealing its own ‘character’ and oppose efforts to change or alter its form for another purpose. Challenging this is the use of drapery throughout art history as a device to signify decoration or movement in a scene. This series of work deliberately introduce objects to the world of the recalcitrant drape to challenge the notion of drape as supplicant. In this context, does the personality inherent in the folds and weaves of the drape diminish, or is it strengthened?
The hand-made photographs in this series have been captured on 4x5 and 8x10 inch B&W film. Images were created by contact print onto Bergger 100% cotton paper and Reich CT Clear using the chrysotype (gold) and salted paper (gold toned) processes.
Representations of Modern Life considers iconic imagery that offers opportunities for quiet reflection and relaxation. Whether deliberate or subconscious, the inclusion of baroque, Buddhist and gothic style statues in the home suggests a desire to repurpose their inherent or historical meaning to create space for quiet contemplation away from daily demands. The gentle subdued palette conveys the sense of beauty, peace and protection often associated with these statues.
Captured on 35mm transparency film, exposed onto Fuji 100C peel apart film, transferred onto 100% cotton watercolour paper.
Hidden Places Hidden Live was made in collaboration with fifteen photographers including twelve residents of Supported Residential Facilities in Adelaide, Australia. We aimed to document this largely hidden world by teaching residents basic photographic skills (or reconnected them with long-dormant ones) and working together to make a collaborative exhibition of their world.
Hidden Places, Hidden Lives explores aspects of ageing, inclusion and citizenship. The exhibition was presented by the Seniors Information Service and the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre.
