Australian Dream explores familiar landscapes through metaphor and allegory, inviting reflection on the narratives and expectations that shape our experience.

Australian Dream presents symbolic, otherworldly images drawn from familiar and uncanny landscapes. Through allegory and metaphor, the series reflects on the narratives we inherit and the structures we accept, inviting contemplation and offering space for insight, wonder, and possibility to emerge from beneath the surface of what we assume is fixed.

Coffee toned cyanotypes made from enlarged 35mm scans - prints exposed by the sun.
