These photographs merge two areas of interest: naturally occurring landscapes juxtaposed against landscapes that have been changed by human impact.
<p>
<p>in these series of photographs i explore how human impact has not degraded the landscapes, but augmented them so that they are no less monumental and beautiful than the surrounding natural landscapes.&nbsp; Particular attention to texture and detail in this series lends itself to the tactile and i encourage you to reach out and make your own unique connections to my photography.</p>
<p>Exhibition runs Aug 3 - Sept 2, opening reception Fri Aug 3, 7pm</p>
