#memory_archive

I submitted an image to Photobook Melbourne’s Photo Award 2016 which is currently on display at the Boyd School Studios until 20 February.  The theme for the award was #memory_archive and my image Dissociation from the series In Absentia seemed perfect for the theme, evocative of childhood family dinners and also as a physical recreation of a recalled scene.  

The award also entails a print swap so I can look forward to receiving another entrant’s image in the post once the exhibition is over. I think that is such a lovely concept. 

There is a diverse range of photography included in the exhibition and because the work of all entrants has been printed and is available for viewing there is a broad sense of engagement with the theme.  Try to visit before the exhibition closes this weekend.
