Join artist Claire Conroy in conversation with Public Engagement Officer, Linsey Gosper, as they discuss the processes and stories behind The Sky From Here. Images in the exhibition are created through analogue photographic techniques, including darkroom printing and a pin hole camera obscura made by the artist from a 1950's caravan. The camera obscura caravan will be accessible for visitors to experience onsite at the Quad between 10am - 1pm on the day.
Claire Conroy is an Australian artist using unique photographic techniques to create evocative contemporary images. In an era when most photography is taking place in the digital realm, Conroy’s work involves the use of analogue photographic processes, such as the camera obscura, pinhole photography and lensless image making techniques.
As a recent arrival in Northern NSW, Claire Conroy’s exhibition explores themes of relocation, displacement and connection. The sky from here unfolds relationships between people and their environment, and looks at how these relationships are impacted by movement and new social bonds. Conroy’s portraits-inplace are captured with the soft and reversed effects of pinhole photography, created using a camera obscura the artist made from a 1950s caravan. This new body of work extends Conroy’s practice of creating enigmatic and haunting interpretations of the physical world: reflections on nature, land and people.
