 HUW DAVIES GALLERY 16 October -­‐ 2 November 2014 Joseph Hearst & Priyaji Peiris | The 2014 APS-PSA Prints Exchange
The 2014 APS-­‐PSA Prints Exchange is an exhibition of works by Melbourne-­‐based photographer Priyaji Peiris, and Californian photographer Joseph Hearst, and is presented by the Australian Photographic Society (APS) in collaboration with the Photographic Society of America (PSA). The APS and PSA each selected one of its members to represent it in the inaugural Prints Exchange, and are hoping to make the project and exhibition an annual event. APS invited Denise Ferris, photographer and Head of the Australian National University School of Art, to select the APS representative from a collection of anonymous series of images. Joseph Hearst is a professional photographer and Honor of Associate of PSA. He has had two portfolios published in the British magazine Digital Photo Art, and in 2009 he received the Charles Keaton Memorial Award in recognition of his PSA publications. His work was recently chosen for the Distinctive Image feature of the PSA Journal, and he is a recipient of the Pictorial Print Division Service Medal. In his photographs, Hearst explores the formal interplay of shadows, textures and saturated colour in his native California. Priyaji Peiris is a self-­‐taught photographer. He is a multi-­‐award winning artist, having received silver and bronze medals for his images in International Panoramic Awards and a worthy mention in Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year 2013. Peiris’s photography concentrates on evocative, enigmatic landscapes and seascapes, which attest to his interest in travel and unexplored terrain. His images suggest quiet, introspective narratives and emotive interior landscapes. The 2014 APS-­‐PSA Prints Exchange exhibition at PhotoAccess showcases four prints by each photographer, and is the culmination of a touring exchange project, involving exhibitions in September at the 2014 APS Convention in Ballarat, Victoria, and the 2014 PSA Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
