The conceptual experience of developing a visual narrative that explores the existence of creation, the belief in a divine entity and the reality, we are born of the earth, we walk the earth and we return to the earth is challenging.
These visual narratives are an exploration of mysticism, of fact, of myth, a contemporary view of ancient beliefs cultivated by Aboriginal culture.
The art is a symbolic combination of true stories and mythical representations that have merged artistic conjecture with a universal need to understand the concept of existence. It is a foundation to challenge the perception of truth by constructing realities; do they represent a believable truth that questions the practicalities of a physical existence compared to one of enlightenment.
This work explores the perception of reality and challenges the notion of Heaven and Hell when we have Mother Earth. Essentially, the work facilitates a reciprocal dialogue among those multifaceted realms in the morphological nature of constantly shifting topography and geology.

The varying scale, juxtaposition of different forms, intertwined textures, variations in patterns and visual metamorphoses are employed as the multi-layered photographic methodologies question and investigate the ubiquitous nature of traditional art visual representation.
