BJP 31 Photographers to watch

It's so lovely to be included in '31 Photographers to watch' by the British Journal of Photography.

I'll be giving an artists Talk on the 7th November at Photofusion as a part of my current exhibition 'Interventions & Interruptions’ with Katie Bret-Day, Tom Pope and Sue Ridge.


https://www.photofusion.org/


I'm thrilled to be awarded the Judge's Commendation Award at the Iris Awards, Perth Centre of Photography. 

The exhibition will continue until the 3rd of November at the perth Centre for Photography, Kings Street Arts Centre, Murray Street, Perth.


"Interventions and Interruptions" is now open at Photofusion Gallery, London.  My body of work "No Blood Stained the Wattle" is now being shown at Photofusion, 17a Electric Lane, Brixton, London. The exhibition is a group show with three other amazing artists. Here's a little more about it:

This exhibition will feature the work of four artists whose divergent individual practices, ranging from documentary photography to book-making, installation and still life, are all highly experimental. The work on display will include an installation by Tom Pope that relies on motion-sensitive mechanisms to create images that essentially document the presence of the audience; Sue Ridge’s ethereal x-ray inventories of institutional archives; Aletheia Casey’s documentary series that, unusually for the genre, incorporates images made from heavily manipulated negatives; and Katie Bret Day’s experimental book, ‘Lacuna’.


I'm delighted to be a I'm a finalist for the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Award.

Here are the details, congratulations to the other finalists:

“All have made a strong impact and we are laying tribute to them in public forums across Australia.”

Work will be showing throughout the month of March, launching officially March 7, 2018 across the country in time for International Women’s Day March 8, 2018.
