These photographs are part of the exhibition “Photographic abstractions” at the Monash Gallery of Art (MGA), Melbourne / Australia.

“Drawing on MGA’s nationally significant collection of Australian photographs, as well as loans from key practitioners, this exhibition highlights works by artists who use photography to achieve abstract effects. These effects have been realised through a number of techniques and methods that challenge ideas about photography and open up a photographic language that is less concerned with documentation and more concerned with engaging the senses, exciting the imagination and challenging the way we look at the world around us.”
