CHRISTINE GODDEN
ISBN: 978-0-6456947-9-6
A milestone in Australian photographic publishing, ‘Light Touch’ brings together Christine Godden’s images made almost 50 years ago. Collected by major Australian institutions late in the 20th century, many of these evocative and often gently erotic images have – with some notable exceptions – largely disappeared from general circulation, no doubt as a result of Godden stepping away from her photographic practice in the mid 1980s.
‘Light Touch’ is an opportunity to engage with these often fragmentary yet intimate and beautifully photographed images of people, animals, and domestic objects – all treated with the same curiosity and tenderness.
Christine Godden’s images are complemented by essays from Helen Ennis and Anne O’Hehir which together offer an historical context for Godden’s work and also highlight her unique contribution to feminist art making, her historical significance as a photographer and her continuing relevance.
