Videos taken in Woonoongoora National Park whilst walking amongst 5,000 year old Antarctic Beech trees, magic sunbeams and soft cool foggy air. #treespirit #deeptime #woonoongoora #yugambehcountry #gondwana #antarticbeechtrees #treetime #endosymbiosis

A wee walk on the last full moon, to visit the ancient Antarctic Beech trees found deep in Woonoongoora National Park on Yugambeh Country. Misty green land of leeches, tree spirits, waterfalls and many many birds. #woonoongoora #yugambehcountry #antarticbeechtrees #treespirit #protectourforests
Anthology of earth poems - Machlag (womb). A wee zine made many moons ago in my last year of art school: scribbled notes on napkins, scans of womby monoprints (ideas for sculptures), Gaelic words and their English translations, a poem my granny wrote, and strange salty blue things. #zine

Listening to trees on K'gari, a few months back in July. Not sure if I recorded root sounds or just interference with the mic, either way it was magic. Maybe I'll share the recordings at some point, if I can figure out how to, ha! Hoping for more of this going forward. 1. Tree root listening. 2. Selfie in-between tree listenings ft some groovy headphones. 3. Hoop pine (port) hole, felt a bit too intrusive to listen. 4. Shadow self and the moon at Lake Boorangoora. 5. Big tall tree beings. 6. A nice spotty gum leaf that fell on my face during a welcome to country and smoking ceremony with the Butchulla Elders. 7. Lovely moss and tree; pure endosymbiosis in (slow) motion. #butchullacountry #island #treetalking #deeplistening #k'gari #moss #k'garifieldtrip #wordsarespells

Forgotten Shell Head photos taken in December 2022 just before we left for Scotland. Photos taken by myself and Ben. Shell Head was born from a wee studio on the shores of Lake Weyba, Kabi Kabi Country. She was part of a series of performance works that responded to the lake for Floating Land in 2021. At the conclusion of the performance works, I began to wonder how I could further use and conceptualise Shell Head, as I had grown quite attached to her. So, I began to take her to different locations and photographed her in the landscape. To me, Shell Head is a 'Goddess' of feminist art, turning a mirror on the murky waters of female self-representation, symbolic and ambiguous in meaning. At the same time experimental, surreal, playful and spiritual, Shell Head explores her relationship to her human/ non-human body, to water body, to tree body and to geological body. Connection to place and feminine response are influential themes but the landscape inevitably has the final say, directing the mood through the elements - wind, rain and light. This artwork does not intend to be explicitly suggestive of the above interpretations, ultimately the audience curates their own experience and response to the work. #shellhead #performanceart #bodylandscape #waterbody #feministart

Some magic from the Cooloola Great Walk last week. Certainly an easier walk than the Everest Base Camp attempt earlier this year and we had a wee bit of whisky on this one, yeow.
A few explorations of Lake Boomanjin and her red tannin waters ft some words of intrigue found whilst reading the Badtjala - English, English - Badtjala Word List, republished and distributed by Pirri Productions 2019 by Dr. Fiona Foley.

Wildly different dialect spoken within a few kilometres from another. It's a special thing to be shared, listened to and respected. #badtjalalanguage #k'gari #language #psychogeography #people #place #landscape #fieldtrip #deeplistening
