Intersections‍ ‍

My recent practice marks a return to slower, process driven image making grounded within the Australian landscape. Working alone and responding directly to materials encountered on site, Intersections is an ongoing photographic series exploring shifting relationships between figure and landscape.

Through staged bodily interventions within the landscape, figures merge with grass trees, branches, lichen, fungi, and weathered remnants overtaken by the environment. The body becomes concealed within dense vegetation, suspended within trees, partially absorbed into organic structures, or difficult to distinguish from its surroundings altogether.

Camouflage, awkwardness, humour, concealment, and transformation recur throughout the work, where distinctions between person, organism, object, and landscape blur. Physical strain, improvisation, and bodily negotiation form an essential part of the process, with each image emerging through direct engagement with place.

Rather than functioning as passive backdrop, the landscape acts as an active force that reshapes and absorbs the body. Intersections explores temporary states of merging and concealment, where boundaries between body and environment begin to dissolve.
