Dianne Jones is a Balardung/Nyoongar woman working with photography. She attended Perth TAFE and University of Western Australia, completing courses in Art Foundation and Aboriginal Orientation in the 1990s before undertaking further study in visual art at Edith Cowan University, Perth. Her work combines Australian art history with cultural commentary as she inserts herself into works that have infiltrated the Australian public consciousness, such as Tom Roberts’ Shearing of the rams, Max Dupain’s Sunbaker and David Moore’s Meat queue. Jones’ work is included in collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of Western Australia and the National Gallery of Australia.

PHOTO Australia respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live, and the rich and diverse Indigenous cultures across what is now called Australia. For over 60,000 years, Indigenous arts and culture have thrived on this sacred land, and we honour Elders and cultural leaders past and present. This was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
