Artist Statement:

In this series, I return to liminality as expressed in the landscape – that moment of suspended pause in the transition between two phases – which has become a thematic constant in my photographic practice over the past few years.

These collected works are not mere representations of Australia’s vast rural plains, nor studies of the singular quality of their light and shadow, but rather meditations on the emotional resonance such spaces hold. Evocative of inner experience, the images invite personal and metaphorical reflections on flux and thresholds. The viewer might recognise something of themselves in the lone recurring figure, seen beneath illuminated gums and an expansive sky, watchful in the wilderness of change. Much like the breathless calm before a rain squall, the compositions are suffused with an anticipatory silence, affirming the quiet beauty of abiding in this liminal pause – however brief, however ambivalent.
