Portrait of a House: Exhibition Opening

Join the Portrait of a House exhibition opening. With her camera, Louise Whelan has documented the construction and life of Peter Stutchbury’s Indian Head House at Avalon Beach – the ‘tough building with soft edges’, in a long-form photographic genre. Her images, which have been transformed into a collaborative film, speak about process, making, art, portraiture, landscape and architecture, poetically creating a trail of memories that turn the mundane into tableaus.

Louise Whelan’s artistic practice draws inspiration from environmental and humanitarian issues, and from her interest in the aesthetics of memory.  Whelan witnessed through image-making Stutchbury’s daily design drawings come in to being; ‘Designs executed with collaborative thought from modern thinking or knowledge derived from ancestors, in the first, tenth or hundredth generations’. More info
