I hereby acknowledge that I work on what always was and always will be the land of the Boon wurrung/Bunurong people of the Kulin nation. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.
In her exhibition, entitled ‘Transience’ at G3 Artspace, City of Kingston, the tree is revisited as a central and sacred theme in large format pigment prints. Largely experimental, the artist explores impression and form through photographic imaging. This exhibition includes a series of forest imagery that references the ecological fragility and resilience of remnant forests and the consequent effects of wildfires and habitat destruction.
Moments alone in the landscape are captured with slow shutter techniques and the images later edited. This is an intuitive and experimental process evocative of her printmaking and painting background.
