Notes:Born 1981 in Japan, Mari Hirata now lives and works on the Gold Coast. She completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Queensland College of Art, Griffith University in 2001 and a Master of Arts: Photography Major, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University in 2003. Since then she has participated in many important exhibitions and is the recipient of numerous awards. Hirata's primary subject - the white, high-heeled shoes which first featured in a series begun in her final year of college. The idea had developed while working as an interpreter for a local bridal company that promoted Western-style 'White Wedding' packages to Japanese tourists. To maximise financial return, the ceremonies were conducted en mass with assembly-line precision and haste.
