What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
I’ve been working on my project Crocodile Flats.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
I've learned that the light here is very unforgiving! It is bright and white and loud.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
I think a lot about anxiety. I mean its beautiful here but full of stuff that can kill you like snakes and box jellyfish and crocodiles.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
Music pays a big part in my work. I have been listening to a lot of Cameron Winter and MJ Lenderman, and those poems of the want and the vernacular of the everyday. I'm all about making the ordinary seen.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Time I always struggle to get time to work on the project. I have young children and a job, etc.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I live in a tiny country town but we are blessed with a great Indian restaurant. So lamb korma it is.
If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
MJ Lenderman and the title would be Things Fall Apart.
Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
I can't really go past Alec Soth and Gregory Halpern; for me just fundamental. They took that idea of along term project and just made it so interesting and new and I hope to just try for a bigger body of work like that.
I am a photographer, based in Far North Queensland, an unforgiving yet unique environment full of plants and wildlife that is deadly and primordial. It is a place where you can literally watch things fall apart. If the cyclones and animals don't get you, the mould will.
