AlleyKat is a 40 year old girl from Moreland, VIC. She's bisexual and it's complicated and last visited us ages ago.

I work as an artist and photographer.
In addition to my scene and performance photography, which is so much fun, I also have a photomedia art practice. Please visit my website at www.alisonbennett.com.au
I am completing a research masters of fine arts at Monash University on the theme of 'negotiating inhabitation'. In the 80s, I did a BA (visual arts) majoring in photography from the UNSW College of Fine Arts.
Recent solo exhibitions include 'Inside Hill End', reviewed by Charles Rice in Architecture Australia July 2004; 'Woolsheds and Shearers' Quarters' reviewed by Philip Drew in Indesign #24; and 'In Ruins' exhibited at Platform2 in 2005 and featured on the cover of Arena magazine #78. Robert Nelson, reviewing 'Making Hay' in The Age 15 Nov 2006, compared her work to Walker Evans. I curated the group exhibition 'Frames of Reference' for Bathurst Regional Art Gallery 2005 and have works in the collections of the National Museum of Australia, the Historic Houses Trust of NSW and the City of Geelong.

It’s part gangster, part pimp, and part boxing champion… but it’s definitely sexy. Of course, we are talking about Madonna’s hot new incarnation. She’s ditched the ‘Flashdance’ disco camp and lycra in favour of a harder more urban look.
