About this work
While living in the United States in the 1970s, Australian artist Christine Godden created tender images of the people, animals and places around her. She studied art in San Francisco and Rochester, New York, with contemporary feminist theory informing her work from this time. Godden’s quiet observation of women’s daily lives is evident throughout her photographs, with their spontaneous, naturalistic representation of bodies.
