Author Information

Tim Hurburgh (author) Tim grew up on the Derwent River north of Hobart, across the water from the estate that all Tasmanians know today as internationally celebrated private art museum MONA. Following a period in the United States studying architecture on a Harvard University scholarship, Tim returned to Australia. After years of successfully running two of Australia’s foremost architectural practices in Melbourne, his passion for writing evolved. Inspired by the lush undulating farmlands on which he now resides and evoking remarkable personal episodes for Tim in our unique island state, his books provide vigorous life spectres of present-day Tasmania and its shrouded past. Over recent years, Tim has been informally mentored by renowned Tasmanian poet and writer Janet Upcher and well-known Melbourne writer and editor Jack Taylor. Both have inspired him to develop his writing and poetry voice. His first book was Disruptions: Tasmania in Poetry. This collection of short stories is his second. Matt Sansom (photographer) Matt Sansom is an emerging landscape and architectural photographer from Tasmania with over a decade of experience capturing images of Tasmania’s internationally renowned natural and constructed panoramas. He was born and raised in Hobart and trained as an architect. Matt graduated in 2014 with the final year prize. His interest in photography developed through bushwalking in Tasmania’s remote and towering landscapes fractured by river ravines with notable and extraordinary names: Franklin, Gordon, Meander and Serpentine. Matt has developed an understanding of complex architectural ideas which, together with his refined observations of the island’s everchanging weather and lighting conditions, have coalesced to provide him with a unique ability to record scenes of the Tasmanian environment, interpreting the natural world through the lens of the man-made. His work has been published nationally and internationally in architectural and other publications.
