Silvi Glattauer
Silvi Glattauer is a practicing photomedia artist from Melbourne, Australia. She is recognised as an authority on the photopolymer photogravure process as well as working with a range of other photographic processes.
The central themes in Glattauer’s practice are underpinned by a love of nature and a deep concern for the environment, narrated through her personal references. Her approach is to collect, to archive, to classify and to record.
Combining multiple photographic techniques and a handmade aesthetic, Glattauer aims to create images that render time, place and beauty palpable. In the process, her work invokes notions of materiality, object and preciousness.
