In The 2015 Pool Grant: On Parramatta Road Lyndal Irons documents and preserves
Australia’s first highway, a stretch perpetually threatened by change.
It is a field study of life on a
road considered dead, across car yards, brothels, bed shops and around
20 suburbs of greater Sydney.
“I aim to restore a sense of journey
to a road better known for daily transit. Part documentary photography
and part road trip, my series preserves today's road for future
reference and encourages a deepened
experience of everyday life.” - Lyndal Irons.
On Parramatta Road is a long term
project, consisting of work previously recognised as a finalist in
numerous photographic prizes, including the Australian Life Photographic
Prize (2011,2012) and the Bowness
Prize (2015). As recipient of the 2015 Pool Grant, Lyndal has been
supported and mentored by The POOL COLLECTIVE. The Pool Grant provides
emerging artists with support and mentoring to complete a photographic
project - the new recipient of the 2016 grant will
be announced on the opening night of On Parramatta Road.
