Virginia Woods-Jack is a British-born photographic artist, advocate and curator currently living and working in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Her practice explores notions of connection to place, materiality and memory to consider relationships between the human and more-than-human worlds. She aims to understand how memory informs how people interact with the natural environment to highlight the importance of care in navigating the climate crisis, which is integral to preserving the planet.
Woods-Jack is the founder and curator of Women in Photography NZ & AU. She has exhibited widely, both locally and internationally, and her work is held in private collections in Aotearoa-New Zealand, Australia, The United States, Europe and the United Kingdom. She has produced commissioned works for Harper’s Magazine, The Guardian, The Observer and Time Magazine, among others.
