Chimera

Chimera (2017)

This project stemmed from my need to connect to the land I lived on for most of my life in Australia. The land I loved dearly, and desperately hoped it would love me back.

Titled Chimera - “a thing which is hoped for but is illusory or impossible to achieve, a dream, a figment of the imagination” - the series consists of cyanotypes made in collaboration between myself, the land and time. The cyanotypes were exposed for days and then washed with rain or dam water. But, they were never fully developed, in the hope the pieces will continue to change over time, just as my own connection to places continue to shift and evolve.
