LIZ O'BRIEN

Liz O'Brien

Liz O’Brien is an emerging visual artist from Newcastle, Australia, working within analogue photographic processes to explore issues of gender, personal identity, eco-feminism and experiences of disconnection from the natural world in contemporary societies.

Having experimented with photographic processes throughout her tertiary education, O’Brien has grounded her practice in traditional darkroom techniques combined with digital methods of printing and image manipulation. Her key practices in creating works include use of expired film types, pinhole photography, liquid light emulsion and incorporating textiles and salvaged materials into printing and installation.
