Mid West is a collection of photographs inspired, in part, by the New Topographics Exhibition held in America in 1975. The work offers an alternate view of the landscape that is so often overlooked. The banal man altered landscapes denaturalising the sublime Australian vistas. The images speak of human effects on the land, the use of this land and the way it will be thought of into the future. Each image has been carefully created to simplify composition, colour and use of light. A pastel colour palette adds to the stark nature of the work creating a sense of reflection and historical relevance. All photographs in the Mid West exhibition are being offered as original pieces, with only one image being in the edition.”
