Harry Nankin
Harry Nankin is a Melbourne-based artist and lecturer. He completed a Master of Arts (Photography) at RMIT University in 1994 and a PhD at the School of Art, RMIT University in 2015. His practice focuses on the natural environment and he has been working with camera-less photographic processes since 1993. Rather than use a camera to photograph the world, Nankin uses simple, direct contact techniques such as the photogram to record traces of nature. His works have been widely exhibited since the early 1990s and he is represented in important Australian public collections.
Patrick Pound
Patrick Pound draws on personal archives that have been amassed from years of obsessive and meticulous searching, and which include found photographs, everyday objects and cuttings from newspapers and magazines. As if the world is a puzzle, Pound reorders these fragments into telling juxtapositions to create a greater, albeit imagined, logic. Through this process, banal and quite disconnected moments are elevated to become humorous, poetic and insightful reflections on the human condition.
Pound has exhibited works nationally and internationally in both private and public galleries. His work is held in numerous public and private collections including National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of New Zealand, Auckland Art Gallery, and the Dunedin Art Gallery.
Kate Robertson
Kate Robertson uses experimental analogue and digital photographic techniques to explore unseen yet felt phenomena relating to healing and connectedness within environmental community contexts. Her current practice is informed by an interest in how conceiving the photographic medium as a living and feeling entity rather than a descriptive mechanism, might reveal more embodied visual outcomes, and in the social and environmental ethical impacts of creating and disseminating images.
Robertson has exhibited in Australia, Papua New Guinea, America, the United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, China and New Zealand. Her work is held in numerous collections, including The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AUS), Southeast Museum of Photography (USA) and Center for Creative Photography (USA).
