Parting With Your Art — Women:s Art Register

A Guide for Australian Artists

I have uploaded a page about the Women:s Art Register and their very handy publication Leaving Your Legacy: A Guide for Australian Artists.

The guide is a comprehensive starting point — and the organisation is definitely worth supporting. Click here.

revisiting Photo Files 1999

The 1999 reader contains 33 essays selected by Blair French, who was then program manager for  the Australian Centre for Photography.

The texts had been previously published in the Centre of Photography’s journal — Photofile — that had been published since 1983.  I wrote the preface to this publication. There’s a table of contents below my online essay along with links to information about photofile and the ACP.     Click here for my essay.

Spot On

the art of film stills photography, 1906–2001

I was approached by Penny Grist of the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra to advise on the 2017 exhibition — Starstruck. I then had the great experience of working with the co-curators Penny from the Portrait Gallery and Jenny Coombes of National Film and Sound Archive. This was a fun collaborative research experience — with my essay published in their book for the exhibition. Click here for the essay now online.
