The Amphitheatre Series No 5

1 of 5 in the 'Amphitheatre Series'. This was created during an artist in residency at Bundanon. We walked into a clearing in the bush, to a beautiful space of trees, rocks and this huge rock ledge. I was instantly moved and felt compelled to capture it. My model and I came back the next day and did a photo shoot. I worked from memory, sketches and photographs back in the studio. The Series is ultimately about acceptance and self-reflection, being gentle with myself while exploring light and dark within.
