Distorted TV images of the 1st presidential debate I was watching
in Australia, (caused by wind moving the antenna) epitomise the
overbearing and interruptive style of Trump. These images are
unique despite being transmitted globally as the resulting pixelated
and blurred image was in itself unique to this moment in time and
this television. At this stage it was assumed Clinton would win, with
these images now showing an unexpected prescience.
After graduating from Sydney College of the Arts with a degree in Visual Communication, Karen specialised in corporate design, later honing her eye for detail as a picture editor and researcher for large multinational publishing houses.
Karen is an observational photographer who's work examines a man altered landscape. Karen has been an associated artist in the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Head On Photo Festivals, where her exhibition of Organic Landscapes was held at the prestigious Australian Museum.
Karen’s work has been shown in art shows and galleries in New York, Boston, London and Sydney. Her work is held in private collections in Europe, Sydney and Los Angeles.
