About this work
Leonie Reisberg studied photography at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology from 1972 to 1973, and at Prahran College from 1974 to 1975. From early in her career, Reisberg was renowned for her finely crafted photographs. In this image, a translucent shirt seemingly glows in front of a window, in an ethereal play of light, texture and shape. Like many women photographers who were practising in the 1970s, Reisberg turned her attention to domestic and often overlooked aspects of life, such as the delicately embroidered shirt she foregrounds in this image.
