Immersive words and imagery of a country that holds my heart. Working with only natural light, I explore with my camera, highlighting the ancient landscapes and organisms which make up the beautiful country I was born on, Dharawal country (Illawarra, NSW).
From critically endangered littoral Rainforest and upland swamps, to both wet and dry sclerophyll forests, heathland and grassland, Dharawal country is one of the most ecologically diverse regions of the continent so called “Australia”.

With a focus on Flora, Fauna and Funga, I use images and literature to bring forward elements of the natural world which would usually lay concealed in the peripheral. I hope to bring about ecological awareness through an amalgamation of art and science.

Dharawal country

Dharawal country encompasses much of the country south and south/west of Sydney. It is the land stretching from around Botany Bay (Kamay) in the north, to the Shoalhaven River in the south, and extends west to around the Picton area. 

 The true custodians of the land encompassing the modern day Illawarra region are the Wodi Wodi people, who speak a variant of the Dharawal language. Wodi Wodi people have inhabited parts of Dharawal country for at least 17,000 years, and continue to do so to this day.  

 The conservation of all natural and culturally significant areas across Dharawal country is of upmost importance. From the tallest trees and the loudest animals, right down to the smallest plants and the entire microbiome.

It’s always a thrill to see a plant I haven’t seen before on Dharawal country, and it’s that little bit more special when, to my knowledge, it’s one which hasn’t been documented growing here before. I am fairly confident
