Diffractions in Glass at East Sydney Doctors gallery

           

Don't miss some of my latest work plus favourites from my series of glass refraction photographs showing at East Sydney Doctors gallery, 102 Burton Street, Darlinghurst (located just opposite the National Art School entrance). The show has now been extended to October 28th and is open inside during surgery hours. This series was begun during my research degree at Sydney College of the Arts Callan Park campus where I explored the phenomenon of sunlight diffractions through its heritage window panes recording the bending and fracturing of light waves at extremely close range.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity of expanding and developing my art practice by working in nature and exploring both the environmental and

social contexts of the Georges River.

My latest art project using video, photography and expanded drawing, reflects on the environs of Kogarah Bay as a constantly modified coastal landscape embodying ongoing colonial impact. Above and below show works in progress developed during my stay at Carss Park Artist Cottage.
