How do you tell the story of someone you met 40 years ago with whom you spent so little time with, who had such a lifelong effect on you? How do you talk about them after a recent reacquaintance, especially when you have own perspective of the world, when it’s the patterns that you see that you want to share?

Carol Muller marks the fortieth anniversary of her first visit to Japan with images of the patterns and shapes that she sees in the built environment with photographs taken both this year and last.

ABOUT CAROL MULLER

Carol Muller trained in photography in the early 80s and after a 40 year pause returned to her training during lockdown.

Arriving at her architectural photographs from a lifelong interest in street photography, Carol’s work explores positive and negative spaces, line, pattern, colour and shadow. Carol’s photography is spontaneous, her orderly compositions are quickly taken on-the-go, often captured with the first shot.

She says, ’I try to look up, move closer, observe patterns, to see details that others don’t, to highlight the beauty and complexity found within a structure’s individual components, often seeing the same thing in different places and subjects.’

Carol lives and works in Sydney, Australia. She exhibited at Sydney Contemporary in 2022, 2023 and 2024, her show Streetshapes at Laerk Gallery Newtown in late 2023 was included in the HeadOn Photo Festival.
