We visited Broken Hill during the Autumn and Winter of 2019 to develop new work with the support of the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery. We spent most evenings exploring the surrounding landscapes, contemplating geological time and our own particular responses to it. We approached these experiences with the understanding that knowledge of nature can not be obtained by force and that through observation of nature there comes an implied understanding of the self. We also spent time with members of the community capturing video that suggests a more human scale story of landscape transformation and the opposing forces of community & commerce and nature & industry.
