Statement- Me and the Bush

These series of printmaking narrate my experience of walking in the West Australian bush, taking photograph and a space that speaks of my emotions and experiences.

Spending time in the bush, taking photograph, observation, listening to the sounds and collecting objects and eucalyptus bark are significant elements and mediums for making these works.
