TIME MACHINE: SUE FORDA Monash Gallery of Art travelling exhibitionSue Ford (1943–2010) was one of Australia’s most important photographers. Before her death in 2009, she was working with Monash Gallery of Art on an exhibition of her work which would feature her final major project Self-portrait with camera (1960–2006). This travelling exhibition is the first opportunity for audiences to see this important series of 47 photographs, and presents a compelling self-portrait of an artist. Self-portrait with camera will be shown alongside a survey of Ford’s black-and-white photographs from the 1960s and 70s and examples of her most iconic work, Time series (1960s–1970s).
