Diverse photographic methods combine to reflect the past, present and future of our changing coastal environment.

My solo exhibition developed as Artist in Residence at Sauerbier House will be launched on 22 September, 2018.

The launch event will be held between 1.30pm and 4.00pm at Sauerbier House Culture Exchange, 21 Wearing St, Port Noarlunga, Adelaide. On the day there will also be a new exhibition by photographic artist Alice Blanch, music by Womadelaide 2018 artist Naomi Keyte and guest speaker street artist Peter Drew.

An exhibition catalogue will be on sale at the Gallery with proceeds going to the Southport Surf Life Saving Club where I was a member as a child.

I commenced the residency on 3 July and have enjoyed immersing myself in the coastal environment of beaches, dunes and cliff walks.

Developed as part of the 2018 Shimmer Photographic Biennale the exhibition incorporates many styles of photography including abstract, studio, thermal imaging, black and white landscape and more. The size of the works vary greatly too with some the size of your hand through to others over two metres wide. The work is focussed on the impact of climate change on coastal environments with rising sea levels and coastal erosion at the forefront.

For a community engagement component of the residency visitors to the gallery were invited to make anonymous contributions about their Brightest Hopes and Darkest Fears in relation to climate change. Their thoughts will be shared in various presentation methods woven through the exhibition.

All welcome. The exhibition runs through to Saturday 27 October. Gallery hours are Wednesday to Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturdays 12pm to 4pm.
