A leaf, a tree, a forest: wild gardens of the Blue Mountains (2017)

Prints exhibited at Blue Mountains Botanic Garden, October 2017. This exhibition is about the bushland of the Blue Mountains. It is a contemplation and a celebration: of the flourishing and the beauty of natural vegetation across this landscape. It is not comprehensive. How could it be, with ten thousand and more square kilometres and hundreds of different plant communities? It is a sample, and a very small one at that, of the glories to be discovered. I encourage you to do so… go for a wander, learn more of the plants, what they need to live and how they die, sit on the ground, look and feel. All images were captured in the wild, using digital and large format film cameras.
