Ann McMahon: Arts Writer
Ann McMahon first began writing about the relationship between art and science in 1999. McMahon reviewed the environmentally themed exhibition A Thousand Colours held at the Canberra School of Art Gallery for Muse magazine. The exhibition celebrated the establishment of the ANU greenhouse project, which aimed to improve environmental efficiency and sustainable resource management practices across the ANU. McMahon's interests in art and science were reestablished in 2003 when she reviewed Julie Ryder's Sturt exhibition, Biota, for Craft Art International and Uncharted Waters, a Murray Darling Basin Commission publication, for Art Monthly. In 2004 she wrote Microcosm, an essay for Metis Time:04, the catalogue of the Art and Science Festival.
Throughout 2001 to 2004 McMahon reviewed exhibitions for the Canberra Times and in 2005 became the 'Contributing Editor for Craft' for Artlook magazine. Her writing can be found online at:
