Marian Penner Bancroft’s work is deeply rooted in photographic explorations of the imagination and the material world. These interface with colonial histories, migration, objects and identities, allowing contemplation of durations ranging from deep time to the ephemeral.

Marian Penner Bancroft’s “Long Story” is an installation that brings together photographs, videos, and wall texts featuring both new works and related pieces created since 2000. These reflect the artist’s ongoing engagement with complex questions addressable through a careful examination of visual traces of human activity with reference to the natural world, providing viewers the possibility of considering their own stories in relationship to the spaces they inhabit.
