In 2020 the land was burning. Native forests destroyed. Australia, a deforestation hotspot on the WWF global list.

I took an analogue camera into our national parks capturing patterns of branches, bark and leaves.

I sliced the positive slide film into different shapes and sizes, like wood-chips, and rearranged them into bold abstract compositions. These photo-chips are a metaphor of what we are doing to our natural environment
