Ria Tierney is a recent graduate (2009) of Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, where she studied photography and printmaking.
Category: Exhibitions
Her work often sits between social documentary and photographic art practice, as shown in Deity Supreme where she explores ideas of iconic representation and interpretive portraiture. The underlying intention is to investigate how people relate to iconic figures and provide an alternative record of depiction. Tierney is interested in developing these different aspects of memorabilia from the archival documents, mythologies, through to the lasting obsession of the fanatical fan.
