I presented another custom installation of my 6 Feet Apart series as a solo exhibition in conjunction with this photo festival. This typology documents the ubiquitous ground markers directing us all to keep 6 feet apart to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Presented on the floor and walls, it invites viewers to reflect on how our lives have changed due to the pandemic.

About the gallery

Articulate project space is an artist-run initiative — in Australia they refer to it as A.R.I. ! — in the US we would call it a nonprofit art center.

It’s a building with lots of soul that houses studios and galleries. Articulate supports “process without a predetermined outcome and provides a unique forum that can open a way for you to extend your practice. This could include such things as creating directions for new work, new collaborations and other forms of inquiry relevant to your practice.” There are 3 galleries in the building and my exhibition runs concurrently with “Reflections” by Liz Shreeve and “Shift” by Steven Fasan and Anke Stäcker

About the festival

Head On Photo Festival 2023 is a 22-day event across Sydney, Australia. The festival features over 110 exhibitions, 700 artists, and a variety of talks and events. Highlights include exhibition hubs at The Muse, TAFE NSW Ultimo and spectacular outdoor exhibitions at Bondi Beach and Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

Country/land acknowledgment statements: The gallery acknowledges the Gadigal and Wangal peoples of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the Country on which Articulate stands. I also acknowledge the Ramaytush Ohlone and Coastal Miwok people on whose land most of these photos were taken and the physical images were produced. Some images are also from Ainu lands in Japan.

Lost Landscapes 
These photographs are part of Bur Lost Landscapes

These photographs are part of Burn Line, presented alongside the pyrotypes.

While Burn Line often focuses on small, personal objects—items carried, used, and held—Lost Landscapes widens the frame. These images offer grounding and scale: the places where fire moved through land, homes, and neighborhoods. They provide context for the objects by showing the environments that shaped, and were altered by, the same events.

All of these landscape photographs were made by me, on site. Shown together with the charcoal works, they create a dialogue between the intimate and the expansive, the relic and the terrain—between what was carried away and what remains.

It was resonating with many issues that I’ve been thinking about for a while in terms of photography that focuses more on concept than creating new images. 

He shared that he hadn’t taken a new photograph in six years and I appreciate that now as a badge of honor
Forbes recently profiled my Pyrotype work and the Forbes recently profiled my Pyrotype work and the ideas behind using fire as both subject and medium. The article dives into how these charred, black-on-black images emerge from a process rooted in California’s wildfire stories.
