ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Installation
• Mixed Media
• Photography

Martine Perret is a photographic artist who was born in Paris, and now lives and works from her base in Margaret River. She is known for her startlingly beautiful portrayal of the Western Australian landscape, often employing aerial captures and portraiture to tell important stories of our times. Her approach to artistic work is based on a career in photojournalism, including a decade covering UN peacekeeping missions in conflict zones, in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Timor-Leste and West Africa where she documented the Ebola crisis.

Recent projects Ngala Wongga (Come Talk) - Cultural Significance of Languages in the Goldfields and Belong – Language connecting feeling, culture, country exhibition at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, highlight the importance of First Nations' languages.

In December 2022 Martine was honoured to travel to Paris with Wardandi Elders Vivian Brockman Webb, Mitchella Hutchins and artist Roly Skender to launch the UNESCO International Decade of Indigenous Languages with the presentation of the collaborative audio-visual work Wannang Biridge (Light of the Peppermint Tree), which was originally created at The Farm Margaret River, following a residency with SymbioticA on photomicrography at CELLCentral in the school of Anatomy and Human Biology at The University of Western Australia.

Martine will launch her new audiovisual and photographic work “Djanga – Spirit” in collaboration with Wardandi Elders Vivian Brockman Webb and Mitchella Hutchins with artist Roly Skender.

After a career in UN peacekeeping, Martine photographs Western Australia focusing on aerial landscape, portraits, and gallery installations. Martine will launch her new audiovisual and photographic work “Djanga – Spirit” in collaboration with Wardandi Elders.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

Located on an ancient, ever-changing piece of land that inspires awe and artistry, my studio called Hay Shed is located at The Farm Margaret River - both a working rural property and a home to artist studios — a place to make, explore, examine and restore.
Surrounded by the hum of farm life and the region’s endemic karri and marri bushland, my studio is a places for refuge, research, reflection and creativity.
My Hay Shed is is usually very brightly lit but this year I am presenting an audiovisual work and it means the studio space will be darken for the projection.

I will be presenting an audiovisual work and it means the studio space will be darken for the projection and the public will be able to get a full immersive experience with images and sound.
