Australian Photographic Society - Contemporary Group Exhibition Co-Winner

Happy to report I have been advised I am co-winner of the APS 2022 Contemporary Group Exhibition - topic Mundane. The image is below and my ARTIST’S STATEMENT follows.:

Image title - UPWARD Stairs are a mundane, and a not uncommon occurrence in our day-to-day life. Yet they can imbue symbolic meaning beyond their simple geometric structure. They reflect cohesion, psychological groundedness and a means of moving upward (in life).

Contemporary photography is an interesting genre and can be open to interpretation. One definition is : “Contemporary photography could be described as a photograph from our own time, compared to an image from a much earlier period. ... Instead, it is a reference to an image created that reflects our values, challenges and perceptions today or, in reference to a contemporaneous period for that image”.
