film is rad.











I've recently welcomed a new camera to the family (geek speak = Nikon FE with 28mm f2.8 lens) and these images are from my first roll I shot to test it out!  Pics are of my parent's pup Mitsy, the boys, out bush, and the hand one is a double exposure in-camera.  How cool is that function on a camera!?!  The answer is awesome.

Film is so rad.  I love sitting at the computer less and shooting film more.

The hey little world. series was created at Federation Square, Melbourne, during my time at Visible Studios, a short term Artist in Residence program curated by Sayraphim Lothian.

Federation Square looks quite industrial with all the exposed steel beams so I wanted to bring human and nature elements into each performance, while still keeping the imagery quite dark and cold looking.  Before I started shooting I spent a day in the space working out where I'd be able to climb and cram myself into, and what movements I could perform in response to the environment I was in.  I also did some filming for each location so stay tuned for a short film.... shortly!

Visible Studios was an amazing and awesomely fun experience.  I love the freedom of creating to create, not for a deadline.

Ps. you can check lots of behind the scenes pics here.
