• Notes:
  Bill Henson is one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists whose photographs present the viewer with unforgettable images. He is a master of light and especially of capturing the liminal moment when day turns into night, when darkness enfolds the land and its built forms, poetically re-inventing and transposing these elements into a world that evokes memory, associations and contemplation. As Edmund Capon has aptly noted ‘His images in the sheer potency of their intimations remind us of just how extraordinary and poetic the ordinary can be, of how familiar roads, suburbs, factories and people, especially in the changing light of dusk and the dead of night, can become charged and powerfully intimate for Henson and for us’.
