Artist statement: As far back as I can remember, I have longed for a primary connection to land, no matter where I have found myself in the world.
I have found absolute solitude on country across Australia and on my own patch of bush surrounded by Wollemi National Park, a place off the grid without electricity or running water.
Here I can appreciate the grandeur as well as the minute details and changes in season. The connection is full and uninterrupted; an extension of the timeless country surrounding me.
While on country, it is impossible to ignore times gone. The deepest of connection and coexistence. It is like circling back and forward in time. Time becomes non-linear.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
