A photographic exhibition, Traumascapes, has opened at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga. The exhibition features new works by local photographers Mr Chris Orchard and Ms Shona Pratt. The works argue that at the centre of the denial of climate change is a fundamental ecological illiteracy that visual literacy might help fix. Mr Orchard said, "As an artist and photographer, I believe there's an increasing need to open up the language of climate change, particularly the language surrounding psychology, and indeed psychoanalysis, where it specifically speaks to contemporary image culture. The exhibition is the way two artists with different backgrounds perceived the same spaces and the 'emotional' or 'spiritual' content of those spaces and tried to capture an essence of the landscape itself, or subvert that spirit to generate ironic landscapes." The exhibition in the University's HR Gallop Gallery (building 21, near car park 2) runs until Friday 4 April. Mr Orchard is an associate photography lecturer in the School of Communication and Creative Industries. Ms Pratt graduated from CSU in December 2013 with a degree in photography. The HR Gallop Gallery is open to the public from 9 am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
