Cheung Sha Wan

Multifaceted and multi-talented, Greer Muldowney crafts work that is thoughtful, beautiful and recognizable. She first came to my attention during our New Directions exhibition, curated by Debra Klomp Ching. One of the requirements for requirements for ND12 was size, that prints be no larger than 20×24. Greer’s series 6,426 people per km² showcases Hong Kong’s density, and she managed to expose us an immensity and sense of scale  in a confined proportion. This ability to convey her vision is what garnered her a spot on Photo District News Top 30 this year. Being part of a larger creative community, Greer is a well respected educator and every year is an integral part of the Flash Forward Festival in Boston as their regional coordinator, showcasing the best in New England photographic talents.

It is a pleasure and honor to have her be part of our Structure exhibition. Take a look at this beautiful work.

About 6,426 people per km^{2 –} 
At 6,426 people per km², Hong Kong boasts the most densely populated urban center in the world. The reality of sustainable practices, depletion of resources and a shifting global power paradigm pervade media involving China, and its Western syndicate territory, Hong Kong. By making imagery here, I ask viewers to contemplate these issues, but to also see these places as homes; not statistics. As the living cities and infrastructure that address cultural standards and progressive technologies. These photographs do not propose a reality so different from the spin of contemporary media, but asks an audience on the other side of the world, the Western world, to reflect on whether these images provide a surrogate for wonderment or trepidation for a changing global climate and future.
