I commenced practice as a photographic artist after completing art college in 1990.Please see PDF attached for details of exhibition experience and bibliography.I have shown work in a variety of contexts- including artist run spaces, commercial galleries and public institutions including the National Gallery Of Victoria. My work has been purchased by the National Gallery Of Victoria (1994, 2003) and is in various private collections.In 2010, my work was included in the major photography survey- LOOK Contemporary Australian Photography Since 1980- researched and written by the academic and art historian, Anne Marsh.Below is an excerpt from a catalogue essay, written by Max Delany in 2001, on the occasion of the exhibition, Adam Bunny, Five Photographs at 200 Gertrude Street Fitzroy. "Adam Bunny’s photographs are made using a variety of technical methods. Conventional photographs shot with a camera, which reference a world beyond the lens, are situated alongside pictures produced, without a camera, in the darkroom process through the manipulation of chemicals, light and chromatics. Engaging with the traditions and histories of the medium, Bunny’s photographs seek to amplify the dialogue between abstraction and representation, objectivity and subjectivity, attraction and negation.The scale and enigmatic content of the work suggest a radiant, poetic sensibility. Yet they are equally images of conjecture, with self-reflexive and disruptive factors appearing on the scene. The images allude iconographically and stylistically to the sublime of romanticism, yet their manufacture also invokes the materialism of structural film and photography. Adam Bunny’s photographs stage a contest between the real and the represented- a poetic encounter- between the materialist processes of photography and the seduction of the scene. For every particle of objective detachment, there exists a counter force of fragile beauty and volatile, corrosive life."
