Tar Love: What Lies Beneath

In his solo exhibition, Chris Holly presents a photographic review of what we commonly look down upon. Tarmac covers an estimated 20% of the Australian continent. In its various forms it is a compelling surface to study photographically. This body of work is a playful and reverential study of details of surfaces we rely on to support our daily transportation through towns and cities, which are often overlooked or ignored.
