Terror Australis
Many of us seem disconnected from (this) country, from what lies beneath our feet.
The 'Horizons' are in fact
roll-ends – slide film inadvertently exposed when loading my OM-1 on trips across Europe in the 1980s – hoarded whilst living in London because they conjured the heat and high horizons of a mythically remembered Australia. Counterpointing these is a suite of 'Ellipses' proffering actual glimpses of a more viscous, ancient and peripheral antipodean wildness. In a corner an alarmed custodian – a porcelain koala with a candle – bears witness.
