Welcome
My name's Gus. I’m a lens-based artist, curator, and producer based on unceded Wurundjeri Country in Naarm/Melbourne.
I work across photography, moving image, and text with a focus on ecological and existential concerns. I seek to consider how greater-than-human perspectives might reshape our understanding of the human condition. I’m interested in how different mediums can hold space for complex questions, especially those tied to place, language, and the systems we live within. My work has been presented through photobooks, gallery exhibitions, and experimental formats, and often includes writing and publishing as part of the process.
I hold a Master of Photography from RMIT University and have exhibited work internationally in England, China, and the United States, as well as across numerous galleries and venues throughout Australia. My practice has been recognised through selection in a range of award programs, both as a finalist and recipient, including the inaugural OD Prize from Open Doors Gallery (UK).
As Co-Creative Director of Photo Collective, I administer events, coordinate award programs, and curate photography across digital platforms, publication, and exhibitions. My professional practice extends to Deakin University (Technical Officer), MEL Photobook Fair (Co-Founder), PHOTO Australia (Co-Curator of the Photobook Weekend for PHOTO 2024), and Fox Darkroom & Gallery (Community Manager).
