My images
evoke a sense of place and sense of space, unmasking both the eccentric and the
eclectic in society. They are provocative. They are candid. They are a slice
through time of events as I’ve seen them. They are a blast from the past of
demonstrations, arrival of Jewish refugees, Gay and Lesbian community events
and the Indigenous struggle for recognition and justice. These photos are not
moralistic: I prefer to let each image tell its own story. The exhibition
title, Thinking Outside The Square typifies those in the images who often find
themselves on the fringe of society. My passion for documentary photography was
kindled during the1970s when Indigenous legal, medical and land rights became
explosive issues. I have had over 15 solo and multiple group exhibitions.
This is my
first retrospective.
Over 200
black and white and colour carefully culled photographs, or perhaps they may
even form ‘visual transcripts’ are being exhibited in the collection at
the opening within a church setting, providing the exhibition with a sense of
the sacred and surreal. Images are laid out on the church pews creating a sense
of engagement, and are a metaphor for presenting people “where they sat”.
Attendees are
encouraged to visually sift through images of interest. During the general exhibition
period over 20 framed images will for sale.
