Ebb and Flow
“Ebb and Flow”, an aerial image project captured from helicopters flying over some of Australia’s most remote coastline and desert regions, describes and documents the relationship of water with the landscape and life. Water creates marks on the landscape, carving it, giving and taking life from vegetation, animals and humans. The project showcases colours and patterns on the earth, created by the elements and brought to life with light, recorded as abstract aerial landscape imagery.
