Now in its fourth year, the Wai Tang Commissioning Award is an initiative of the MAPh Foundation as part of the Bowness Photography Prize. All of the Wai Tang Commission exhibitions coincide with the Bowness Photography Prize exhibition the following year, with one work entering our significant collection of Australian photographs in honour of Wai Tang’s legacy. Deborah Paauwe has exhibited nationally and internationally in over 35 solo exhibitions and 100 group exhibitions throughout Australia, London, Europe, Asia, New Zealand and the United States. In 2000 she completed her MA in Fine Art at the Chelsea School of Art in London, UK supported by the Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship. Click here for more information.
