Personal Narrative @ Time of Capture

A fleeting moment…

It was destination unknown until a sign appeared and enlighten me with information. My sensors were ignited and the adrenal flowed quickly as there was little time to consume all the surroundings.

Visual Information @ Time of Creation

The contemporary artwork is a layered narrative reflecting Main Beach natural environment. Main Beach is situated in Nambucca Heads on the Mid North Coast, New South Wales, Australia. On Monday 7^th March 2016 I arrived in the afternoon to greet the shoreline and ocean continually photographing my response to nature’s language. In August 2017 post production commenced and one digital montage became Lot 20 in the PLACE identity Series, admiring the fleeting moment as a chance to breathe and rejuvenate.
