ANNE FERRAN
Anne Ferran is a photographer who works across digital and analogue photography (including large-scale photograms), and video; as well as incorporating installation and textiles. She has a particular interest in the photobook. Ferran work explores the often meager residues of Australia’s colonial past, paying particular attention to the lives of anonymous women and children. Intellectually and emotionally engaging, sometimes austere, her photographs have explored histories of incarceration in prisons, asylums, hospitals and nurseries. They play with invisibility and anonymity, and are often haunted by things lost or unseen. In recent years her research interests have broadened to include the histories of animals, in particular birds and their habitats.
