Emma Rose, our talented graduate of PSC who has returned to extend her journey with us through the Pathways Program, speaks about her experience in getting selected for the Projections Program at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale this year:

There have been 45 artists chosen, from 16 countries around the world.
My series,
Fish Tank,
includes 20 photographs exploring today's rapidly shifting landscapes: the humdrum of daily routines, rise of solo lifestyles and the overall ease with which people are interacting with largely artificial spaces. As government surveillance heightens, there's a looming presence and an overriding sense of isolation of the individual in an indifferent world.

I'm an Advanced Diploma graduate from last year's fine-art major, with a background in journalism and theatre. My work has been significantly influenced by Melbourne's distinct brand of architecture. I have a passion for people-watching and capturing fleeting everyday moments -- particularly the dynamic between humans and inanimate objects and the modern landscapes they inhabit.
