Solo exhibition at Head On Festival in Australia
"Just Married" from The Garden of Maggie Victoria by Rachel Nixon.
I’m honoured to have been selected as a featured solo exhibitor in the 2024 Head On Photo Festival, which returns to Sydney, Australia for its 15th year in November.
As Australia’s largest photography festival, Head On celebrates the work of emerging and established Australian and international photographers. Major exhibitions will be held at iconic locations in Sydney including Bondi Pavilion Gallery and outdoors in Paddington and Bondi Beach.
Ten images from my photo series The Garden of Maggie Victoria will be displayed at Paddington Reservoir Gardens. The series honours the legacy of my great-grandmother who was forgotten within my family after her early death. It combines archival photos and documents with my own contemporary images to revive her story primarily through digital collage.
My work will be on view daily from November 9th until December 1st. Paddington Reservoir Gardens is at 251-255 Oxford St, Paddington, Sydney. Entry is free and the exhibition is open from 10am to 4pm each day.
I’m thrilled that I’ll be in Sydney for Head On’s opening weekend events from November 8th to 10th. Let me know if you’ll be there too!
