Do you promise? Yeah, pinky promise, 2024

By Tamara Needham & Christine Kofstadmoen

Cyanotype emulsion is brushed on, dried, printed on, washed, then hung up to dry, much like our washing on the hills hoist round the back of the house. The themes and moments captured are ones that we have all lived through in our childhood, extending past the Australian lifestyle to a global experience. Christine and Tamara created there prints with the forethought of mental health, and how childhood adventures can be tinted with traumas and change a person for the rest of their life.

Even though we all have been in their shoes (or thongs/slides/crocs), sometimes it’s easy to forget that not all of these memories are good ones for everyone.
