Active:  Australia
Website:  www.mariandrew.com
 
  
Contemporary Australian photographer and video artist. 
  
Artist statement: 
  
I specialize in photography and video, focusing in the areas of hybridisation of drawing and photography through studies in the studio and the darkroom, and responses to landscape. The significance of history in the present and the relevance of 'landscape’ in forming contemporary cultural identity frames the production of my photographic as well as video installation works. This research includes an exploration of the relationship between photography and painting, the European Still life genre in the context of Australian wildlife.
