"Embark on a visual journey through the realms of sky, land, and sea with Post-Landscape—an exquisite collection of photography and film that captures the essence of these dynamic elements.
In my quest to document these breathtaking locales for future creative endeavours, an unforeseen metamorphosis occurred—Post-Landscape became a project in perpetual motion, a mesmerising symbiosis of visually preserving fleeting moments that have now seamlessly woven themselves into the tapestry of history, witnessed solely through my eyes.
The movement of a body through the landscape is not merely a traversal; it's a transformative experience that influences both perception and interpretation.
Whether walking, living, or growing within a specific space, one is compelled to engage directly with the interplay of human and non-human forces—the very fabric that shapes every inch of the landscape. This immersive engagement awakens the senses to a profound understanding of the intricate dance between geological, seasonal, and atmospheric forces, intermingled with the rich narratives of faith, art, desire, culture, and community.
Each step taken unfolds a deeper connection with the land itself and unveils cultural attitudes, interwoven with the threads of time and memory."
Post-Landscape
Empty is not alone…
as I draw the landscape with the film, the empty spaces have echos of past activity…
This research delves into the creation of finalised pieces, a fusion of photography that serves both as standalone artwork and as a foundation for expansive installations or enduring projects.
The allure of the landscape has consistently sparked a spectrum of emotions, ranging from moments of profound awe to reflective contemplation. Tracing its origins back to the 18th-century Enlightenment ideals, where nature was perceived as controllable, and evolving into the 19th-century belief in its transcendental power.
Within my artistic endeavours, the landscape and environment serve as a nuanced framework, allowing an in-depth exploration of the intricate interplay between nature and culture.
In the realm of Post-landscape, a convergence emerges, giving rise to the social, political, and philosophical landscapes that define our existence. This body of work meticulously examines these complex relationships through the lens of the female gaze, positioning myself as both an artist and a mother. The exploration of the landscape as an extension of humanity unfolds, unraveling the dynamic evolution of our connection with nature.

Below is a collection of post-landscape research as the earth changes so do these galleries to evolve into a collection of memories, and my own journey on this earth…
Look up, the infinite sky holds so many secrets…
Below our feet, we connect with more than we know…
The water and sea flows for us to live…
