Harry Conneally

Harry Conneally is a third-year Fine Art student at Curtin University, specializing in painting, drawing, and printmaking. His work navigates the intersections of technology, memory, and geography, examining how digital mapping and urbanization shape our perception of place and presence. Through both traditional and digital processes, Harry reconstructs fragmented landscapes and urban environments, revealing what is lost, overlooked, or erased by time, conflict, and shifting global interest.

In his printmaking practice, his projects explore the theme of a fractured memory over a prolonged period away from home, focussing on how the memories of his past life in the UK are difficult to discern. Using etching, monotype and screen-printing methods, the body of work explores the nature of memory through his own subjective experience. In an increasingly globalised world, the aim is to discover how time reforms memory connections and explore what abstract effects this has on materials while making

In painting, he turns his focus to the loneliness embedded in contemporary, tech-driven urban life. His compositions evoke the isolation of individuals navigating hyper-connected yet emotionally distant environments, where digital presence often replaces genuine human connection. Through layered textures, fragmented forms, and expressive mark-making, he captures the alienation of modern cityscapes—places teeming with people yet defined by solitude.
