Todd McMillan

Todd McMillan has a video and photographic practice which is imbued with a melancholic sensibility and shadowed by his literary and philosophical preoccupations. Following a decade of creating endurance works, he has increasingly focussed on the possibilities of the nineteenth-century cyanotype photographic technique — its romantic and granular qualities underpinning his existential and ecological concerns. His ten-year retrospective, Ten Years of Tears, was shown at the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart in 2013. His work is held in numerous collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA), the National Gallery of Victoria and the John Kaldor Collection. Todd, who lives in Sydney, teaches in Photography and Situated Media at the University of Technology, Sydney. He is represented by Sarah Cottier Gallery, Sydney.
