Our 2014 Marsden Artist in Residence was Wellington photographer Virginia Woods-Jack. Virginia has a first class Masters in Fine Art from Massey Wellington and a BA Hons in photography from the University of Creative Arts in England. Her images have been exhibited in NZ, USA, England and France including The City Gallery Wellington and The Month of Photography LA. She was a finalist in The NZ National Contemporary Art Award 2009, has featured in the London Photographic Awards and Voies Off in Arles France. Virginia developed a series of works for exhibition while working alongside art students. She is interested in the layers of time inherent in the photographic process, exploring pulling apart the alchemy associated with instant Polaroid photographic processes and how this relates to the time and space present within a location. Marsden hosted an exhibition of Virginia's works at the New Zealand Portrait Gallery at Shed 11 during October. Virginia talks about her experience and practice during the residency. |
