Currently in her final year at the National Art School in Sydney, Lucy Brosnan creates a visual tension between photography and paint. “My work is autobiographical, drawn from growing up in rural Australia, Mungindi NSW Kamilaroi Land,” she says. With a sense of nostalgia and naivety, Brosnan’s work leaves us wanting more.
