...eggplant, and zucchini. I hand-pack my own hamburgers; I’ve creamed, broiled, double-boiled, sifted, folded (gently), tossed, scalded, and celebrated. The family I’m housesitting for has stood by and watched in awestruck incredulity as I tear through their kitchen like a possessed Tasmanian devil...

Having turned 20th century photography upside down in her 2000 show "World Without End," this assiduous sleuth found her subject. Whether photographing the then-unknown Twiggy on a London street, or a ghostly skeleton in a Tasmanian museum 30 years later, Morley's instinct has been the same. Now in its final weeks at the AGNSW, Annear's survey show turns a celebrity shooter into a more curious gatherer of found objects...
