Exhibition Un/known Featuring works created during PhotoAccess’ Concept to Exhibition 2022 workshop, Un/known brings together twenty artists to explore, share and confront personal stories. Today we will be looking at the work of Adam Luckhurst, Kristiane Herman and Susan Bell. Adam Luckhurst "This body of work highlights the precarious climatic situation we are in. These landscapes have been captured across New South Wales and Victoria. Within the rural landscape, the trees remind me of statues, or angels in cemeteries - their death a marker of environmental stress and decline. Also, there are disused service stations, no longer serving their purpose. They remind me of long, hot, summer drives, and of thinking about our destination or where we have been." Kristiane Herman "In what became the Australian Capital Territory, the natural landscape of mountains, hills and rivers influenced decisions on the design and sitting of the national capital in the early 1900s. Since I came to Canberra in the mid-1970s, the adaptation and evolution of the natural and built environments in response to economic, social and natural influences continue to be topical as the capital changes. The western fringe of the ACT is a current focus. My pre-digital photography era snapshots are from before 2000 and printed from digitised diapositive film." Susan Bell "Since living in the Yass region for over a decade, I have been fascinated by Yass’ historic landscape and its vulnerability. The landscape is prehistoric, with worn volcanic cores and fossil outcrops dating over 400 million years BP. Since human settlement, its vegetation and ecology have been shaped by Aboriginal use and the rural leases of the early European settlers, including the explorer Hamilton Hume. Today this area is facing unprecedented change, with numerous development projects which will irreversibly change the landscape."
