There is something to be said about a critical discourse and for me something to be learned. The intent behind this work was a layering of my experiences and philosophies regarding nature and being a part of nature. From the meditative quality of repetition that enables a reflection upon the subject to an expression of my reverence and awe in relation to the multifaceted moments in nature, from the ecological notion of stepping lightly and therefore not removing such items from their natural environment to an expression of the passage of time through a representation of natures living ebb and flow.                                                                                                                                                                   I guess to sum up there is a part of me that dedicates stupid amounts of time to recreating elements in nature as a contemplation of what we see as “the real world”, a personal dialogue (and a wee bit of a piss take) on how we as humans consider ourselves and our place within nature and our own natural history.

Anyway this project marks the beginning of my adventures in the remarkable Master of Fine Arts course presented by the equally remarkable lecturers at RMIT University. I hope you enjoy!
