Marlaina Read
Born Adelaide, Australia, lives and works in Sydney, Australia.
I am currently undertaking my MFA at the College of Fine Arts. Working in Photomedia, I am exploring ideas of pause and delay in relation to how people view both still and moving images.
More generally I am interested in ideas of mapping, topologies, pre-modern dwellings, ritual, and cultural geography.
