Artist’s statement:
Drawing on what many consider the first direct self-portrait in the western tradition, the series Aussie Jesus refers to Albrecht Dürer’s iconic painted self-portrait (1500). The photograph attempts to confront the role of the artist, representations of Jesus and notions of Australian identity.
