This work is part of the series »3000 feet«. This
project carefully places a frame around selections
of endless structures, fractual patterns, shapes
and colours of some of Australia’s prestine and
remote areas, Shark Bay, Lake McLeod, the
Gascoyne River, Ningaloo & the Kennedy Range.
»Gathagudu's Skin« is an ocean floor pattern and part of a personal
journey from ranges into river beds, from red
soils to turquoise waters, white salt lakes to vivid
explosions of colour. Artistic interpretations of
aerial landscapes inspired by raw nature and
indigenous art & culture.
These photographs were created on one of many
trips on board a small Jabiru two-seater aircraft.
The door half open, photographer and camera
gear strapped in, the plane tilted 90 degrees
sideways, flying in a downward spiral to allow
the captivating perspective required
to create these photographs.
