PHOTODUST is an independent art and photography organisation based in Melbourne, Australia.
We are a not-for-profit Asia-Pacific curation project. Our aim is to engage and encourage collaboration between artists, for the production and publication of photographic and lens-based art.
PHOTODUST aims to establish a unique perspective toward visual culture. For this purpose, we are constantly searching for artworks that involve the use of photography and related processes.
The rules are simple: all photographic and lens-based works will be considered. Our only requirement is that the work should be produced by artists born or based in the Asia-Pacific region.

Alongside Ray K Metzker’s composites and Edward Steichen’s textile design photography, it’s Instagram - the scroll of the archive grid, the shifts of focus from the macro to the micro to the meta - that inspire this series of
FUMBLED MACROSFINITE MICROS,
WORDS AND LETTERS
IN PATTERNED PERPETUITY,
COMPOSED;
WITH A CAMERA
Aesthetically, this series is an exploration of formalism through playful symmetries, contrasts and rhythms of geometry and colour. Conceptually, I’m interested in the overhauling of signs and signals - busy, bouncing and boisterous - and how this release and remix from context converges with abstraction and photography.
These ornamental patterns represent a continued pursuit of motifs that have grown from a quest to write with a camera, alongside continued theoretical interests in letters, typography, semiotics, publishing and urban poetics.
