Research overview
Lesley Duxbury was born in the UK, and has lived and worked in Australia since 1983. She uses both traditional and contemporary Print media—Photography and Printmaking—to make works that question our perceptions of the natural environment. She has been exhibiting for the past twenty-five years in Australia and the United Kingdom with solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, and more than 50 selected group exhibitions in Australia, Korea, Hong Kong and New Zealand. Her most recent exhibitions include: 2011 2112 Imagining the Future at RMIT Gallery and Out of the West at National Gallery of Australia; 2010 The Stony Rises Project at RMIT Gallery and touring Victoria; 2009 Melt at Sydney University Gallery and RMIT Project Space Gallery. 2007 Proof at Ian Potter Centre, National Gallery of Victoria. Her work is held in all major public collections in Australia.
Lesley’s research interests include sustainability and the natural environment, in particular the atmosphere and its phenomena, which she explores through work that emulates and recreates our experiences and perception of it. The phenomenological experiences of extended walks in remote landscapes, during which Lesley takes photographs and makes extensive notes, are the impetus for her investigations. She is also interested in the use of text in art and the role it can play in focusing attention and altering the readings of images allowing for a personal intervention and interpretation.
