Darkness made visible

This is a body of work that I photographed in 2005 and exhibited in Sydney in 2006. It’s about the fleeting nature of emotion and the ever changing state of the inner world.

The series was photographed within the front and backyard of the house I was living in during that time. The images were all photographed after twilight. Taking long exposures became an act of letting go, of allowing things to unfold around me. It was an organic and intuitive process.

What resulted was a personal narrative, a self portrait taken in fragments over the period of a year revealing themes of decay, growth and regeneration.
