Lesley Duxbury

Melbourne artist and Associate Professor at RMIT, Dr Lesley Duxbury is no stranger to Hamilton, having judged the NZ Painting and Printmaking Award at the Waikato Society of Arts earlier this year. 

She is a photographer and printmaker with a particular interest in the natural environment and sustainability. Her work captures the atmosphere and experience of the landscape, and to this end she has staged her prints as immersive installations, while some of her images have fragments of text that both extend and complicate the viewer's experience of the work.

She is interested in the viewer's physical relationship to the work: an immersive, sensual experience, which stems also from traversing and documenting different landscapes herself as research for her art.
