Margaret Olley in her Paddington Studio, 2011 digital print (Framed, expressly by Paul Miliss, Paddington Frames, Margaret’s own framer.

The frame was his choice based on what he felt Margaret would have liked) AP (Edition of 6, 2AP)
“I had the great pleasure of photographing Margaret in her Paddington studio, a place well known for its colourful clutter and referred to by some friends as ʻThe Dolls Houseʼ. In my portrait, Margaret is seated in her painting chair, confronting the lens with her particular sense of candour and an uncommon frailty. She is flanked by 2 vignettes of her studio. As far as I know, this may well be the last photo taken of her before her death the following month. Christine France – art critic, author of Margaret Olley (1990), commented, “It is a wonderful photo in that it captures both the vulnerability and sense of enquiry which entered her face in the last months of her life.” The work was purchased by the Tweed River Regional Art Gallery in 2013 as part of their permanent collection, displayed in the Margaret Olley Centre as part of her ongoing legacy. This AP edition is the actual work that was selected as a finalist in the 2012 National Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra. It won the People’s Choice Award that year and returned to the artist’s studio after being on display as part of the NPP travelling exhibition, touring various regional interstate galleries.

Madonna Ascension, 2009 — Madonna Ascension, 2009
Pigment inkjet on cotton rag, 117cm x 87cm Editon 1 of 9 (3AP) Custom made white box frame(Selected finalist 2010 Blake Prize) – While holidaying in Malta I found myself attending one of the many reli-gious festivals on the Islands. I was on the island of Gozo and happened to be there for the festa of the Madonna in the main cathedral in the capi-tal, Victoria. There is such universal participation in the pagentry of the festa that it is impossible not to be moved by the colours and emotion of the various rituals and rights of passage. I was particularly inspired by the proces-sion of the statue of the Madonna through the streets of the ancient city. The gold gilded, life size statue is carefully prized from her year long rest-ing place in the cathedral by the men of the city and is adoringly carried on the shoulders of her bearers, through the narrow streets. Eventually she is returned to wait another year. I decided that I would explore this experience photographically by creat-ing my own interpretation of what I felt as I was watching the festa of the Madonna on Gozo. I suppose I wanted to try to understand or duplicate my experience of the emotions of these events,but using the stillness of the photographic me-dium. Although this a fairly literal representation of the Madonna, I chose to depict the image as a human model in a saintly pose, rather than as a statue, and for the backdrop, instead of a milling crowd of fervent followers, I used the desolate landscape of an abandoned and decaying hotel swimming pool. Framed against the blue sky, the Madonna is poised on a bridge between the earth and the heavens.

Glitter and Colour on the Streets of Erskenville, 2016 — Glitter and Colour on the Streets of Erskenville, 2016
Pigment inkjet on cotton rag, 118cm x 86cm Editon 1 of 9 (3AP) Selected finalist 2016 National Portrait Prize, National Portrait Gallery, Canberra A group of performing artists and entertainers are pictured together infront of the venue they have been working at for years. They display some of the co-lour and panache, normally reserved for the stage, on the street for the camera. The Imperial Hotel, once famous for it’s role in opening scenes in the movie “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”, an iconic bastion of LGBT community life, is now closed, joining the line up of ever diminishing night spots, fallen victim to fewer crowds and harsher licensing laws. One wonders if these creatures, we see represented, will, one day just be memories of a more vibrant past. Custom made white box frame

Shane, 2011 - — Shane, 2011 –
Pigment Inkjet on cotton rag, 92cm x 65cm Edition 1/9 (3AP) Selected finalist in the Josephine Ulrick & Win Schubert Photography Award, 2012 This ambiguous portrait captures Shane Jenek preparing for his transformation into his glamorous identity, the renowned performer Courtney Act. In my photography, I often explore issues of sexuality and gender identification, and to question the codes of what is considered to be ‘normal’ behavior. This image is an-other example of pushing the boundaries, blurring the borderlines of accepted notions of gender. Shane is pictured in an unguarded moment, with his hair a mess and wearing a prosthetic bosom. Unlike in most classic portraiture you don’t see the subject’s eyes or his facial expression. Instead Shane is placed in front of an equally curious painting by Mertim Gokalp, the Turkish-born, Sydney-based artist whose work also tackles aspects of the beauty myth, on the edge of insanity. I find the two images play off each other inadvertently, helping to create additional, dramatic tension. As always, in photography I am fascinated by this dialogue between what is hidden and what is revealed.

The Preparation, 2012 - — The Preparation, 2012 –
Pigment inkjet on cotton rag, 71cm x 93cm AP (Edition of 9, 2AP)Finalist in the Moran Prize, 2012 This portrait is about anticipation. The relationship between me, as the photographer and Rocco, as the model is already set in motion. There is a knowing glance from Rocco. She interests me because she is purposely ambiguous and she appears to be confrontational. The hairstylist, Nikki Russell and the make-up artist, Glitta Supernova are applying the finishing touches to a look which intentionally walks the line between masculine, feminine and something else. Rocco is confident and secure.
