June 20, 2008: To be exhibited in three as yet unused spaces in the arts precinct of Danks Street, Waterloo, are three award winning photographers. Belinda Mason, winner of this years Moran Portrait Prize, with a selection of her best portraits, championing the lives of the handicapped and disabled.

Belinda Mason was the winner of the photographic section of the prestigious Moran Prize this year. Her work is challenging because she champions the lives of the handicapped and disabled.

Ben Ali Ong is reshowing his recently exhibited series Refluent Hours (seen at Blender Gallery, Paddington). This work celebrates the photographic power of black and white photography reminiscent of the way it was embraced in earlier eras such as the 1970’s.
Zurica Purlija is a talented newcomer with a sensitive ability to create mood and feeling. For her, photography is a medium, which allows the expression of life’s inner experience in its rawest sense. She works with nudes, the faces of others, and her daughter Rumi is her greatest muse. Her portraits have been selected most recently for Head On and the Olive Cotton Prize. She is represented by Sara Roney Gallery in Paddington.

July 1-20, 2008, Xhibit 9, 9 Danks Street, Waterloo
