Tamara Dean exhibits at Published Art
Exciting news today as we finalize the installation for Tamara Deans work in store in the next week or so!
Born 1976 Sydney, Australia. Tamara Dean began studying at the College of Fine Arts before graduating from the University of Western Sydney with a BA in Design. From 2002-2012 Dean was a member of 'Oculi' photographic collective and since 2001 until 2014 has worked as a photographer for the Sydney Morning Herald. Dean's work is represented by Olsen Irwin Gallery Sydney and 'James Makin Gallery' Melbourne. Dean’s works delve into themes of ritual, intimacy and decay set within the contemporary Australian landscape. Her beginnings were in the ephemeral yet intimate portrayal of her immediate youth documenting her relationships living on the cultural fringe and her transient lifestyle. Later her documentary work would delve deeper into subcultures, social rituals and portraiture which continue to inform on-going themes in her evolving photographic practice.
