A Place of Leaves (2023)


A Place of Leaves is a series of three photobooks that document a living ecology in the Blue Mountain Region, Dharug Country. The photographs explore the landscape once titled ‘The Devil’s Wilderness’, in an attempt to question the role of the photograph in our understanding of place. Each book reflects upon a distinct area of the region- River refers to the Grose River, Hill explores the top of Mt Banks, Bush represents the dense bushland in between the two. This series attempts to portray connections found within place as more than a subject but instead a living, breathing collection of life- a place where leaves grow, fall and gather.
