The William John Woodhouse Rephotography Project (WJWRP) is the product of four years of research undertaken for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Visual Arts through Sydney College of the Arts, The University of Sydney. Conroy undertook the fieldwork for the rephotography project in mainland Greece from December 2009 to September 2010. This project was made possible through collaboration with the Nicholson Museum, University of Sydney. Read more about my work on this project here
