23 | Important Work – I | Masa Hoss | $500 | Digital photograph (in camera effect, exception: contrast and colour correction)

Created in Beaumaris, where Clarice Beckett once painted. Her paintings were long overlooked but are now celebrated as important. This piece honours those whose visions of beauty remain unrecognised. Using intuitive in-camera techniques, it summons Beckett’s quietude to affirm the importance of artistic conviction in pursuit of one’s own vision.
