Pullens artistic practice uses image archives from diverse sources such as dated Australiana and artistic imagery to community-based institutions’ photographic archives.

Honouring traditional photographic techniques and languages, her work interlaces unconscious urges of pleasure, of fervour and anxiety through an automotive and intuitive process. Kiah’s photographic works evolve through a delicate performance in complete darkness. Embodied printing techniques and fluid movements unfold as a darkroom dance. Kiah pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium, where elusive qualities are formed through the complex layering of historical and cultural imagery.
