I’ve been receiving email newsletters ( I don’t remember subscribing) from DooneyStudio, it’s the site of successful young Australian painter and photographer Hazel Dooney. She’s been receiving quite a bit of press lately, due to the boldness and confrontational subject of her artworks. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed receiving her communications, check out here recent work here - it’s punk, meets feminist, meets graphic psychological self-discovery. She has a photography exhibition opening at MARS Gallery in Port Melbourne on the 29th July to 24th August, coinciding with the Melbourne Art Fair. Innocents And Demons will extrapolate on her paintings, with studies of young women in her first photographic exhibition.

What’s interesting to us, is some news that she has licenced six of her images to a niche Australian condom manufacturer, Legends Rubbers, to be printed onto tin packaging. Each tin package will have an image of Hazel’s, containing six rubbers. That’s a pretty unique image usage, which has prompted me to probe into our records to see what the most intriguing usage for a Wildlight image is. I’ll post it soon…
