PhD Exhibition
I argue the disruption of technology contributes to an alternative understanding of photographic practice and questions how might deviation of these subliminal processes alter or augment a body of creative photographic based work. By presenting a series of photographic works in exhibition format, the research incites a recursive questioning of what constitutes the photographic image, what is selectively included, and what is silently occluded.

Shut Up And Draw... Big
Susan Te Kahurangi King
28 June - 10 July 2015
This collaborative project invited the audience to contribute to a large-scale wall drawing which was completed over the duration of the exhibition. As its starting point, the wall drawing responded to selected motifs found within a number of King’s works. A large-scale severed leg, Daffy duck’s beak and other anthropomorphic forms were reproduced on the existing gallery walls and functioned as prompts for collective response.
In association with From the One I Call My Own at City Gallery Wellington.
