about
Rebecca Murray is an artist and educator residing on Corhanwarrabul in the Dandenong Ranges, on Wurundjeri Country. Her work explores relationships with place and considers belonging, transformation, and layered traces held within landscapes.
Through lens-based and camera-less photographic approaches, she draws on materials, stories, and histories connected to the places she engages with, allowing process to shape the work's form and meaning.
Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography) from RMIT, Melbourne. Her work has been exhibited in Australia and internationally, and recognised through awards, publications, and collections. Rebecca has worked extensively with humanitarian, arts, cultural, environmental, and community organisations.
Rebecca was awarded 2nd place in the Australian Photography Awards and has been a multiple-time finalist in the Head On Landscape Prize, Head On Portrait Prize and Australian Photography Awards, as well as a finalist in the Experimental Print Prize.
I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands on which I live and work - The Wurundjeri & Bunurong Peoples of the Kulin Nation. I recognise their continuing connections to land, sky, water and community. And I pay my deepest respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
