Unheimlich (2019) The 2019 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Art Prize – with the theme of “A Place To Call Home” – opened on Friday night. I’m really happy to have won the Best Photography category in the exhibition with an elegy for mass extinction (see comments for artist statement). Thanks to the judges @b_o_w_o_n_g @coates_erin and @yarns_r_us for making the trek to Kalgoorlie, and the @cityofkalgoorlieboulder , @goldfieldsartscentre and @artgoldinc for putting the show together. Grateful to @lee_harrop for the guidance, mentoring and, more than anything, our friendship. Thanks Lee x Special shout out to @smartielala my ‘Lib-bro’ for holding my beer and providing the laughs. We had a great night admiring the works and also buying them (for the uninitiated – Lib-bro is a conjunction of ‘Libran’ and ‘brother’ that my daughters came up with to describe myself and some close mates who are all born in the same week of October. Love your work @Carys.priest and @eviempriest 🤩). The exhibition is on at the Goldfields Arts Centre until the 20th of October. #kalgoorlie #artprize #photography #climatechange #massextinction #sixthmassextinction #contemporaryphotography #ckbartprize #web #invertebrate #auswip #womenphotograph #environment #science #anthropocene #nikon #nikonaustraliaAiden, four years ago. #tbt #throwbackthursday #throwback #portrait #nikon #bnw #blackandwhite #auswip #womenphotograph #kalgoorliephotographer #nikond800 #nikonaustralia #family #famigliaRemnants from the passing low (2014) #lowlight #flashback #archive #botanical #chiaroscuro #auswip #womenphotograph #lensbaby #nikon #nikonaustralia #ifyouleave #somewheremagazine #rosebush #isolation #desertlight #kalgoorliephotographerLast light of winter, 31.08.19 #chiaroscuro #winter #lowlight #sigma35mmart #sigmamoment #nikon #nikond750 #piano #everlasting #daisies #auswip #womenphotograph #documentaryphotography #dusk #lastlight #lastlightoftheday #ifyouleave #botanical #nikonaustralia #music #musicianThis country is big and empty - Mueller Ranges, between Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing, WA 6.37am 23.08.19 #thisiswa #aerialphotography #kimberleys #geology #documentaryphotography #iphoneonly #outback #auswip #womenphotograph #westernaustralia #australianlife #everydayaustralia #remote #ifyouleave #geologistsofinstagram“Thousands of corpses” by @lee_harrop at the CDU Art Gallery, NT - a nice little 30-40 million year-old section of bioclastic sediment from the Eucla Basin, sourced from the Kalgoorlie Core Library in outback WA. #stilllives #cduartgallery #geology #fossils #biostratigraphy #euclabasin #art #cuinthent-
