Iti Connor is a photo-media artist working across digital, analogue, and alternative photographic processes, as well as moving-image and mixed-media techniques. 

 

As a passionate daydreamer, Iti’s artwork explores the themes of nostalgia and belonging. She regularly delves into the interplay between the familiar and the unfamiliar in human experience. Aesthetically, Iti has always been drawn to monochromatic or limited colour schemes and enjoys combining figurative forms with abstraction. 

 

Iti was born in Estonia, where she graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts with a Bachelor of Arts in photography and holds a Master of Art in film art from Tallinn University. Iti began actively exhibiting during her BA studies and had her first solo exhibition, “Flocking Practices” (2011), shortly after graduating. While pursuing her MA degree researching surrealist imagery in cinema, Iti transitioned her career into education and has since gained a decade of experience in creativity pedagogy.

 

Upon relocating to Australia in 2016, Iti returned to her art practice. Currently, she is working with Australian landscapes and botanical matter, which contrasts with her upbringing in the Northern Hemisphere. This change in geographical context and natural environment has infused her work with new perspectives and inspiration.

​

Iti is a resident artist at Chrome Street Studios in Salisbury, Queensland.
