Simon Attwooll (b.1985) is interested in the intersection between new and old technologies and what information becomes lost or overlooked in either.  Slipping between mediums: not quite painting, or printmaking, nor object-based practice, Attwooll manoeuvres between analogue, digital and human modes using found photographs as readymades.

In a time when photography often only exists in a digitised form Attwooll encourages an alternative method of engagement. Attwooll’s works explore the nuances in our relationship to them and encourage us to re-examine our relationship to the photographic image and object. 

Selected recent shows include: “You can go back to the past but no one will be waiting for you there”, Hutch Gallery 2025, “Welcome Home”, Hutch Gallery 2025, “Offering it up”, Adam Art Gallery Wellington 2023, Sarjeant Gallery Wanganui 2025, “Traces”, Social Gallery, Wellington, NZ 2024; “Under Pressure”, Social Gallery, Wellington, NZ 2024; “Second Cut”, Kynton Ridge Artspace, Kynton, AU, 2023; “Windows” SPA_CE Gallery, Napier, NZ, 2021; “View Finders”, Olga Gallery, Dunedin NZ 2021; |NOTFAIR|, Melbourne, AU, 2021; “Ton tonton tond thon”, {Suite} Gallery, Wellington, NZ, 2020; “Sometimes a bad experience is better than a long explanation”, {Suite} Gallery, Wellington, NZ, 2019.
