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.
