Artist to Artist: Pat Hoffie, Lillian O’Neil & Izabela Pluta

Hear from Pat Hoffie and Lillian O’Neil in conversation with Izabela Pluta, as they discuss their new works in the exhibition ‘All the World’s Memories’.

This program is part of ‘Artist to Artist’, a series of conversations bringing together practitioners with shared interests and material concerns. This discussion considers the production and circulation of images across historical and contemporary approaches to photography and printmaking.

Pat Hoffie’s interdisciplinary practice addresses themes of power and postcolonial legacies through centring aspects of human experience. Her new body of work responds to the social mediatisation of the conflict in Gaza, while invoking printmaking’s historical role in bearing witness to violence and injustice.

Lillian O’Neil works with found photographic material from pre-digital books to create large-scale, analogue photomontages. Drawing on assemblage practices, her collages create tangible lapses of time that speak to the human condition, intertwining personal memories with social, cultural, and aesthetic histories.

Izabela Pluta’s expanded photographic practice has developed a unique visual language of spatial and representational means to signal a different modality of vision. Working across collage, film-based photography, sculpture, installation, and video, her work explores the intersection of photography with concepts of time, memory, and place.
