BETWEEN
HEAVEN &
EARTH
This project began with a chance shot years ago on Lennox Head beach, captured on Portra 400 with a Hasselblad 500CM. It triggered the thought that because humans are tiny ants who occupy so little of the Earth’s surface, on land or sea, surely our minimal presence could not account for the spectacular levels of damage to our global environment. The more I looked, the tinier we seemed and yet ironically the worse the climate impacts became. Soon the corollary appeared: if we can so easily destroy the planet, then we have all we need to restore it. Same ants, same power, different outcome. My series alludes to the parallels of destruction and restoration, by framing the challenge of choice - that we have all the personal agency we need as we occupy the thin line between heaven and earth.
