Contact details for Associate Professor Marian Drew
Marian Drew's art practice in photography, video drawing and sculpture explores the connection of domestic activity to cultural identity and the relationship to place through an acknowledgment of history and the physical engagement with landscape. Her recent work explores the image of the European Still Life genre in the context of Australian roadkill.
After completing her degree in 1984, she was awarded a German Government Scholarship to study experimental photography in Germany. Since that time her work has been recognized thorough grants, awards and residencies in Australia, Europe and the US.
Currently she is convenor of Photography programs at the Queensland College of Art, and is represented by commercial galleries in Australia, New Zealand and the US. She represented Australia in the First Asia Pacific Triennial in 1992 and her first major monograph was published in 2006 by the Queensland Centre for Photography. Her work is represented in State and National collections in Australia and international private collections.
