From the Series Biomorphic 2020
This series is influenced by a Japanese aesthetic and concept of seeing something into another.
Born in Montenegro,1964, I am a contemporary visual artist based on Gadigal land. Working predominately in photography, my work is based on attachment and care for the primary relationships and landscape I find herself in. Informed by a background in graphic and digital media, my photographic practice draws on abstraction and collage to forge an ethereal reflective visual language. Recent exhibitions include Fade Into You, Portraits of Yumi and Transience.
In 2020 I completed a MFA in Photo Media at UNSW Art and Design. I have been a finalist in the Gosford Art Prize (2023), the National Photographic Portrait Prize (2010, 2009, 2008), HeadOn Portrait Prize (2022), the Ravenswood Women's Art Prize (2020), the Fisher Ghost Art Award (2017), the MAMA Photography Prize (2016), the Winifred Bowness Award (2014), the Ulrick Award (2011) and the Olive Cotton Award (2009). My works have been exhibited in New York, Zurich and Venice.
