Dr Rowan Conroy is a visual artist whose practice focuses on the use of photography to document ancient and modern, rural and urban architecture and detritus as a means to reflect upon the archaeology of the present.

Conroy’s PhD was awarded in 2012 by the Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, for his thesis and major exhibition Archaeologies of the Present: Rephotographing the William John Woodhouse Photographic Archive. This research was the subject of a major exhibition in August to November 2013, at the Australian Centre for Photography.
