Land Acknowledgement @ Time of Custodian

‘In the spirit of reconciliation the PLACE identity Series acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.’

Place Statement @ Time of Conception

Personal Narrative @ Time of Capture

Visual Information @ Time of Creation

The contemporary artwork is a layered narrative reflecting Coolum Beach natural environment. Coolum Beach is situated in the Sunshine Coast, South East Queensland, Australia. On the 19^th February 2014 on a Wednesday afternoon I was continually photographing my response to the seagulls, ocean and sky.
