working class Heroes

 

Photographer David Prichard has won this year's coveted Taylor Wessing Prize for his portraits of Australian indigenous women.

His series, Tribute to Indigenous Stock Women, captures those who have spent most of their working lives on cattle stations in northern Queensland.

Prichard thanked the subjects for their trust, saying he was "only the vehicle for the women to tell their stories".

He was awarded the £15,000 first prize at London's Cromwell Place on Monday.

The Sydney-based photographer, 55, said he wanted to shine a light on a community that had been mostly unrecorded.

He was commissioned to create the series by Queensland's Normanton Council following a 2019 exhibition on First Nation rodeo riders in the region.

He said: "I have always been respectful of cultural and social sensitivities and subsequently built trust with the community, which led me to be invited to photograph the women."

gewoon Verbonden!

 


Disciples seek fusion with the Deity through meditation and contemplation. The initiates of India have summed up this exercise in the formula, ‘I am He’, which is to say, God alone exists; I am only a reflection, a replica, a shadow; I exist only to the extent that I am able to become one with him.
In reality, we do not exist as creatures distinct from the Lord; we are part of him. This is why initiatic science teaches human beings the methods they must use to detach from their illusory images of themselves. When we say, ‘I am He’, we understand that we do not exist apart from God, so we strive to unite ourselves with him, draw close to him so that one day we shall truly be like him.
