Damon Amb
Goddess (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Goddess Series
This series of photographs continues my fascination with digital abstraction and manipulation. As a new arrival to Australia, I ventured to the iconic Opera House and began to take multiple shots of the famous architectural forms while they were bathed in the shimmering lights of the Sydney Vivid Festival. I then merged and collage photographs to arrive at my final works.
This work is part of an ongoing series called “Goddess.” It represents the concept of the feminine as an archetype projected into a futuristic time and space. It connects the masculine and feminine symbols as a marker for a blending of genders where no one holds absolute power, but is shared. The organic forms and complex geometric structures tell of sacred beings merging my ancient Persian culture with the mysticism of the Aboriginal culture of my new homeland.

BIOGRAPHY
DAMON AMB
Damon began his photographic journey more than 25 years ago with his father’s old Konica camera in Iran. He started experimenting by taking images of nature, people and his surroundings. Damon became interested in the details of objects and became drawn to abstract photography over time. He has since developed a distinctive style of work using photography and digital art.
He has completed an Advance Diploma in Photography (2004-2007) at Jahad University, Karaj, in Iran. He has also completed studies in Photography Criticism (Theory) at the Mahe Mehr Art & Cultural Institute under acclaimed tutor Hamid Severi.
Damon has exhibited extensively in Iran and now in Australia. He has shown his work both in solo and group exhibitions. Damon has exhibited his work at SSI’s Art is Our Voice exhibition, in 2014 and Home Between Here and There in 2015 and New Beginnings in 2016 to great acclaim, in some galleries of Sydney. He has also shown his work in Head On Photo Festival 2016 in Australia.
