JAMES TYLOR

Based in Canberra, Tylor has exhibited extensively across Australia in both solo and group exhibitions and is represented in collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of Western Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Monash University Museum of Art, Shepparton Art Museum, Artbank, Kluge Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum, USA, and the Australian Embassy, Washington DC. From 2013, he returned to Adelaide and further completed a Masters in Visual Arts and Design (Photography) at the South Australian School of Art. Since completing his tertiary education, he continually researches Indigenous and European colonial history with a deep focus on South Australia and Kaurna history.

Within his creative practice, Tylor is known to traverse and combine various photographic techniques, including 19th century daguerreotype, wet-plate and digital format, while simultaneously combining photography with carved, engraved, cast and collaged methods. Tylors multidisciplinary practice often incorporates and is informed by various modes of curation, research and academia. Through this, he consistently addresses the ongoing impacts of settler-colonisation within Australia that exist culturally, politically and environmentally.
