Pat Brassington
Pat Brassington (b. 1942) is an influential Australian artist working in photo-media. With a career spanning four decades, Brassington has become well known for her incisive ability to infuse the familiar with the fantastic. Troubling what is revealed and what is hidden, her practice queers the photographic medium from a feminist perspective through interests in surrealism and psychoanalysis. A major survey exhibition, *Pat Brassington: A Rebours*, was held at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne in 2012 and toured Australia and New Zealand until 2014. Other selected solo exhibitions include *Pat Brassington*, Ten Cubed, Melbourne (2014); *In Search of the Marvellous*, CAST Gallery, Hobart (2013); a survey exhibition at the Lönnstrom Art Museum, Finland (2008); and *Pat Brassington*, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2007).
