I am interested in the fragility of the landscape we take for granted in our everyday lives and our part within in it. Through our 21c lifestyles we are having a significant impact on the natural world around us. By an acknowledgement of the land, of history and memory, I seek to bring a mindfulness to how we view and inhabit the natural world on many levels.
Other ways of encountering the landscape, through walking and quiet observation have also been a significant source of inspiration and contemplation. These humble walks have not only been a source of rich imagery and play, they have also been a way of balancing the hectic pace of modern life. We are overstimulated by technology, consumerism, and processed food. Sometimes it is important just to take a moment and step back from this hectic space into the realms of possibility – of daydreams and meditation. This is how we restore our energies and ability to manage in this busy world.
As a two-year old, we moved to the northern Brisbane suburb of Aspley, where I spent many hours exploring the nearby bush and creek, much to my mother’s annoyance. As a child, I loved to disappear to explore the plants, lizards and butterflies, often imagining myself living there – making little gunyahs (shelters) out of tree branches and leaves. When I reflect on my childhood, I think I was a bit wild and maybe a bit of a handful for my parents to manage.
