Remember Me series

Photo media pigment prints on 300gsm rag paper

This is the most recently captured work in the exhibition. In December 2016, I went on a field trip to the Grey River Rainforest in the Otways as a pilgrimage to the site of my first black and white analogue series produced while still a student at the Victorian College of the Arts. In the final shoot, these images were captured in rain, which achieved this soft lighting. For three decades conservationists successfully fought to protect and stop logging in these pristine areas for wood-chipping purposes by companies such as Kimberly Clark (Kleenex).
While working on these images I was reminded of the Frederick McCubbin painting entitled, ‘Lost’, 1886; a portrayal of a young girl standing alone through the portal of scrub and eucalypts. After some research I found that there were several incidents of children lost in the Australian bush. Instead of appropriating McCubbin’s title, ‘Remember Me’ quietly invites the audience to make a human connection to the awe of nature and make peace with those disconnecting, disquieting feelings of isolation. The sound of birdsong was recorded at nightfall in the Great Otway National Park.
