Time Traveller

In this work, I explore time as both fleeting and immense. The image captures a young women in a moment of quiet reflection during a visit to the Naracoorte Caves, a space formed over the course of 1.34 million years. It situates a brief human moment within the vastness of geological time.

This is an image of my son waiting patiently for the ATLAS C/2024 G3 comet to appear in the twilight, 160,000 years since it last visited our solar system. This work captures a moment of biological and astronomical time. As a parent it reflects how quickly the transition from child to adulthood seems.

A portrait may reveal what one looks like to the outside world but it reveals nothing about the inner self. Our inner-most thoughts, desires and dreams are for us and us alone to savour and keep. This work is about dreams and the journeys we take while sleeping. Dreams allow us to escape the everyday and to explore another world, the world of our immagination.
