Marg has been a Creative Practitioner for many decades and has exhibited regularly in NE Victoria while working in Tertiary and Secondary education. Marg held a solo Photogram Exhibition at GIGS Gallery in 2018. Her research interests draw on digital photography and analogue darkroom techniques, including solar-grams and photograms to explore nuances of shadow, tone and light. Current work with insect shells and flora resonates with themes of climate change. Through cataclysmic events such as bushfires, Marg’s photograms reflect the regenerative power of nature to provide hope and optimism for the future.
Within a creative practice methodology of simplification and abstraction using traditional chemical photographic techniques, other research explores different kinds of crevices including childhood memory and gender stereotypes in a remote regional community.
Marg’s love of photography and particularly photograms has led her to return to study to develop a sustainable method of creating digital photograms and any possible new aesthetic this may entail. For Marg working with the CSU Creative Practice Circle is an innovative way of learning, testing and consolidating research ideas and methodologies.
