This work was taken while driving through Hallet Cove, South Australia one morning of rare blanketed fog. This image was taken just as it cleared for sunrise. The photographs were shot for a work called 'Nepenthe', which means something that can make you forget grief and suffering. As an installation, the images were projected and distorted through a hand blown glass vessel, to create an aurora type effect on the ceiling. However, the images themselves also demanded to be seen, with an enduring, defiant presence. This work titled 'Ethereal' explores the unearthly transcendent landscapes that are hiding just beneath the surface of our domestic lives. This is shot in a public park ...
These works connect with an interrogation of our reality; of searching for things just below the surface of the mundane, the everyday. It links with a deep buried childhood wonder with the world.
