Rochelle Summerfield

Photomedia – Subject to flooding 

Through collages of found, photographed and hand-drawn imagery, Rochelle Summerfield tells stories of female subjectivity, nature and transformation. Placing the collaged female subject front and centre, with heroine status, she dominates the picture plane.  

Rochelle references the art historical canon, the grotesque, and burlesque, and with a dose of humour and irony, she uses these references to examine the body in flux as it seeks to find a place for itself within the Australian landscape.
