There has been much written on the changing role and definition of photography since the introduction of digital forms and proliferation of images. Increasingly, a considerable amount of these writings discuss the new worlds in which the photographic artist now has to navigate and contribute within.
Excited my Dust Landscape series is discussed in the new publication Anthropology and Art Practice, edited by Arnd Schneider and Christopher Wright, published by Bloomsbury Publishing. Additionally, artwork Dust Landscape #6 is reproduced in colour within the book.

I was recently invited to have my work published on Art Photo Index (API), a visual index of art and documentary photographers from around the world. API has been developed by Photo-Eye Magazine.
http://www.artphotoindex.com/api/
8 of my artworks are featured in the Emerging Artist section of Musée Magazine, No. 7 Vol. 1, Energy Issue.
Musée’s 7th issue brings to light the diversity inherent in the nature of energy, and how one perceives where it comes from, what it means and how it exists within ourselves and the world around us. Each artist’s work yields unique aspects of the essence of energy.

Cosmic Walk (study), solarised silver gelatin print (photogram) with toner, 25.4 x 20.3 cm, 2013
The Cosmic Walk and Other Learning’s explores experiential learning and focuses on the understanding of the Deep Ecology philosophy.
Deep Ecology observes that psychological and spiritual disorders can be contributed to the ‘illusion of separation’ between humans and the rest of the natural world. This concept is seen as a fundamental underlying issue of the current environmental crisis.
In June 2013, the artist attended a Deep Ecology Workshop facilitated by John Seed (writer, teacher, environmentalist and OAM) and became a participant-observer of deep ecology processes and healing ways. From her experiences at this workshop, Kate has developed a series of unique photograms to document the sensory modes of understandings she was exposed to.
Through photography, Kate is interested in working in the between space of contemporary art and ethnography, in order to record the inner workings of alternative healing communities and lived experience.

'The Creative Potential of the New': A Photographic Dialogue by Dr Jane Button (written for the exhibition This Has Been) is now available to read online.
Paul Adair, Kate Beckingham, Danica Chappell, Danny Digby, Benjamin Lichtenstein and Kate Robertson
opening Wednesday 6 - 8pm, Wednesday 24 April
24 April - 12 May 2013
gallery hours 10 am - 5pm Wednesday - Sunday
The exhibition This Has Been explores contemporary iterations of the ‘photographic’ and the shifting variants of contextual inquiry that has exceeded the 'crossroad' between analogue and digital forms. The artists seek to further expand this field of inquiry through creatively engaging in dialogue with photography’s indeterminate nature and openness of forms.
Through their choice of subject matter and inclusion of different media formats the six participating artists in this group show, Paul Adair, Kate Beckingham, Danica Chappell, Danny Digby, Benjamin Lichtenstein, and Kate Robertson, explore the ‘limits’ of photography’s current manifestation whilst also investigating what photography can be.
I am pleased to now be represented by the gallery Edmund Pearce, Melbourne, Australia! For more information on Edmund Pearce, click here.
