In Melbourne, the Image Makers Association Australia (IMAA) presents a selection of images from the I SHOT 23 exhibition HOME / AWAY at Craftworks in Abbotsford, Victoria.
An initiative of the many tenants in the building that includes CHT Architects, who designed Craftworks and reside in the building, the large lobby gallery area is the perfect place to showcase images that were a part of the larger I SHOT 23 exhibition featured in Stylecraft showrooms in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth in November 2023.
Craftworks was filled with architects, designers, creatives and lovers of photography at the launch on 1st March. This was a celebration of great photography set in the architectural surrounds of the ground floor area. In the design of the building, CHT Architects was thinking ahead, and providing a wonderful space where exhibitions such as HOME / AWAY bring a cultural and creative offering to both tenants and the local populace.
The selection of 13 photographers and their HOME / AWAY images is impressive with a stellar group that includes work by Caitlin Mills, Damien Kook, Dianna Snape, Dylan James, Elizabeth Schiavello, Emma Cross, Graham Alderton, Marnie Hawson, Natasha Alessio-Mulhall, Nick Carlino, Tess Kelly, Tom Blachford and Tom Roe. The theme of HOME / AWAY encompasses a wide perspective that range from the close and intimate to the distant and unfamiliar. Each photographer has interpreted the theme through their own personal viewpoint and the result is a captivating translation of ideas.
The exhibition is on now, it’s free and everyone is welcome to enjoy this curated ISHOT23 installation and all works are for sale by contacting the photographer. It’s worth the visit to explore the talent that resides in the photographic community and to savour the atmosphere of Craftworks.
