Fiona Hall: Fiona Hall's 1990 exhibit "Words" is a brooding collection of ten ambient Polaroid photographs with dimensions of 53 x 68 cm, all related in the way they have been presented. When thrust upon viewing, intense moods are triggered and sensory responses to the candid portrayal of disfigured human beings give a general sensation of human discomfort as if a transition or metamorphosis is taking place. This is accentuated by the way the photographs have been taken, in particular the use of murky, earthy tonal variations and the rock-like textures that have been created. The number of human figures may have a statement about the impact a transition may have on us as human beings and that perhaps transition is a necessity for human beings to live and adapt.

Tracey Moffat: Tracey Moffat's 1991 exhibit "Pet Thang" is an interesting collection of six photographs with dimensions of 110 x 71 cm. Each piece in the collection is similar, making the collection cohesive. Motifs featured in "Pet Thang" include the interaction of what appears to be a sheep and a woman (although they are featured in seperately in two photos). Further emphasis is placed on these figures due to the contrast in darkness between the foreground and the background in each of the photographs. Although the figures are fairly dark in tone and slightly indistinguishable at first sight, they can be differentiated on closer inspection due to the textural contasts between the different characteristics that humans and sheep contain. Moffat appears to have given the images a grainy layer of coating that has been achieved by the blurring of photographs and she may have also suggested movement to take place during the capturing of the photographs.
