Jane Finlay is an Australian interdisciplinary artist and photographer living and working on unceded Noongar Whadjuk boodja, Boorloo, WA whose work has been exhibited and published since 1996.
Conceptual research driven explorations of site, materials and matter frame her creative practice. Working across photography, sculpture, drawing and installation Finlay draws from an interdisciplinary practice to document, research and interrogate the strange, questionable observations of lived experience.
She is interested in the language of of photography and image-making and draws her creative output from multiples sources of inspiration. Process, disruption, experimentation and documentation are essential to her creative practice.
Finlay regards the camera as a tool for documenting and creatively probing mediated constructions of narrative and context and the photographic medium and evolving screen-based technology and AI tools as essential thresholds for imaginatively exploring experiences of human and nonhuman consciousness.
I acknowledge, with deep respect, the sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the original custodians of Australia. I pay my respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
