West /Country
West / Country is an ongoing series about my experience and time of living in remote Australia. Told in long form photographic tradition through landscape, portraits, and details this work has been made on Balangarra and Mirriwong land in North West Australia.
The land and human occupation is always present. However, I am less concerned with the grandeur of the region and more interested in exploring the visual juxtapositions and dynamics between natural and developed spaces; set against the backdrop of geographic, environmental and colonial legacy. This ongoing series made since 2019 has afforded me the time and intention to make works that befits pace and scale in a place I have made home for the past 15 years. The title is a play on where I am originally from in the UK, which is collectively known as the ‘West Country’.
