The exhibition will remain on display until May 27 and artworks will be available for purchase.

Brendan's work mixes the sentimental and melancholic with traces of surrealism and dada to produce work that evokes the long tradition of film photography while remaining fresh and contemporary. The exhibited photographs, other works and writing on photography can be found at the artist's website: www.brenmurphy.com.au .
