Sydney based photographer

Land Mark denotes subjects investigated for positive and negative aspects of how architecture is perceived -- buildings and elements of the urban environment that are unmarked by notice. With this two-fold approach to architecture as landmark and mark on the land in mind, questions are raised about purpose and process: how the structure has been extrapolated from itsphysical and social context. Why is it there? Who designed it? What is hidden? Why does this go unnoticed? This exhibition explores some of the forces and influences that shape the urban environment, particularly utilitarian features such as structures, structural phases and elements, and remnants of the construction/deconstruction process that are designed to be unnoticed or are simply ignored because of perceptions that they are insufficient as landmark: perhaps 'ugly,' 'unfinished,' 'ordinary,' or 'derelict' subjects.
