Bio
Sari Sutton is a photographer and visual artist working on Ngunnawal country, Canberra. Her photographic work, which incorporates digital, film and alternative processes, crosses genres – from documentary to the staged, conceptual and experimental. Drawn to the power of photography and photographic processes to question and reveal deeper truths about time, (co)existence, human behaviour, connection to the landscape and more-than-human world, her approach to her craft is both intellectual and instinctive. Through perceptive, astute observation, her work demonstrates curiosity and insight into the state of the world, power, agency, choice and consequence.
 
In 2025, Sari was a finalist in the Lanyon Art Prize, the Canberra Contemporary Photographic Prize (CCPP), and was awarded an Honourable Mention (Analog/Film) in the Lucie Foundation International Photography Awards. She was a dual finalist (top 10) in the 2024 Australian Photography Awards (Experimental and Environmental), and a 2024 Head On Landscape and CCPP finalist. In 2021, Sari was a finalist in the Australian Life awards, the Paris Photography Prize (PX3) State of the World (with her series Avalanche), and the 1854/British Journal of Photography Edition365. In 2020, her series The Infinite Pulse received a PX3 Silver Medal, she was included in the 2020 Loud and Luminous volume of women photographers, ‘Equality’, and was an ANU School of Art and Design Bundian Way (Sharing Stories) Arts Exchange participant. 
 
In 2024, Sari was awarded a Dark Matter artist residency at Canberra’s PhotoAccess, where she developed a body of experimental analogue work, Dark Energy, inspired by Mt Stromlo and the human connection to the celestial. Earlier this year, she was invited to exhibit at Cluster London and in ‘Through Our Eyes: Climate Change in Focus’ at the Australian Embassy in Berlin. In October, Sari was awarded a CAPO grant from the Canberra Museum & Gallery to develop and publish her first photobook.
 
Statement 
Truck headlights illuminate the landscape under a pre-dawn auroral sky on the outskirts of Canberra, Ngunnawal country. From the series Dark Energy, investigating the invisible, but felt, forces of interconnectedness and energy between us, the earthly natural world and the celestial.
