Episode Synopsis
Australian Women Artists The Podcast Episode 28 Artists of Influence: Carol Jerrems (influencing Tamara Dean, ep. 2) Welcome to another edition of AWA artists of influence. For those who’ve heard some of these podcasts, you’ll remember that the last question I ask is: Is there an Australian woman artist who has inspired or influenced you and if so, who and how? I’ve decided to explore a little further the artists who were named as influences by my podcast guests. In ep. 2 I asked this question of critically acclaimed Australian photomedia artist Tamara Dean. And her response was Carol Jerrems.Carol Jerrems (1949-1980) stands as one of Australia's most significant photographers, despite a career tragically cut short. In her brief but prolific working life, she created an extraordinary body of work that captured the spirit, struggles, and raw beauty of Australian youth in the 1970s. Head to the link in my bio to hear about Carol (or whichever platform you find your podcasts). Both Tamara and I refer to Carol’s work, ‘Vale Street’ (1975).
