Australian photographer who actively collaborates with location in which she works, often processing work on site, and using collected water and salt to process negatives. Part of the artist statement for her project ‘Salt’ reads “an essence of the site is introduced to the frame as the vibrant matter paints its way onto the negative, a reminder of the dynamic agency of the more-than human, the unresolved mysteries that exist around us and the resonance of the deeper forces that will so creatively interrogate and transform a photograph”.
