| 1. |  | Clare Strand 2001-2002 Untitled [Gone Astray Portraits] Gelatin silver print, mounted on PVC and floated in a white glass frame 55 x 45 in Provided by the artist - Clare Strand The title Gone Astray is taken from Charles Dickens' 'Gone Astray', 1853, the story of a child lost in the City of London. Dickens' narrative contains many references to anxiety, vulnerability and to double lives. The conventions of early 20th century portraiture are employed using painted murals as backdrops to isolate the sitters. Each subject is individually dressed in costume and given props appropriate to the urban character Strand 'builds'. Though the poses have a kind of grandeur, each character shows signs of damage and vulnerability ¡ from ripped tights and bandaged wrists to bloody noses and running mascara.

| 10. |  | Clare Strand 2005 Untitled [Betterment Room - Devices For measuring Achievement] Black and white print, matt heat-sealed mounted on MDF 62 x 48 in Provided by the artist - Clare Strand Frank and Lillian Gilbreth's corpus of photographic Work Studies formed the research basis of The Betterment Rooms - Devices for measuring Achievment. By resurrecting the Gilbreth's laboratory, 'The Betterment Room', Strands' contemporary participants now encounter a twenty first century work study equipped with appropriate mechanisms and attachments, set against grids and clocks. The Betterment Room Devices for Measuring Achievement Cyclegraph series becomes an attempt to analyse and determine the trajectories of Strands own activity throughout the making of the work. Using the Gilbrethian method of strapping mini electrodes to her hands and employing a long shutter speed, Strand records her own movements.
