The One, 2018-2022
From the series On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing, an exploration of Earth as a living organism. The One is a discovery in time and space, the detail within the landscape focuses on a single stone and sand formations that have been carved by wind and water at the Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) west of San Pedro De Atacama in the north of Chile in the Atacama desert.
Valle de la Luna is a part of the Reserva Nacional los Flamencos and was declared a nature sanctuary in 1982 for its natural environment and strange lunar landscape, from which its name is derived.

Further Information:
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing reflects on nature, on Earth as a living organism.
The photographs were made with a slow intensity of exploration through the physical act of walking and site-responsive connections to remote environments.
Performative in the process of their creation, each work is happened upon, captured during physically demanding expeditions.
Geological landscapes, otherworldly scenes and elements of human interference become found moments in time and space, evoking environmental and philosophical questions.
On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing is a meditation on time.
As humans, we are slow to act to protect the environment from our own destruction, to halt its decline, to care for home, our golden earth.
The series includes work developed during an artist residency with La Wayaka Current in the indigenous community of Coyo in the Atacama Desert, Chile, the driest nonpolar desert in the world.
The work includes a collaboration with musician and composer Russell Webster (The M1) utilising field recordings and live instrumentation to form a looped soundscape.
