Close up photos of waste – cars, bottles, TVs, mattresses, wires and the other detritus of our modern consumer lifestyle are explored in this series. The sheer volume of rubbish found in waste centres, tips and landfills is overwhelming. But there is also beauty - the dense patterns, textures and colours of the rubbish, sorted according to type, are both intriguing and attractive. By ‘inverting’ the images the negative side or consequence of consumerism is emphasised. As an x-ray points out the weakness or disease in our body, so these photos expose our waste as being a shameful side of our lifestyle.

I'm an emerging photographer and live and work in Sydney, Australia. I won the 2018 Dis-Moi Dix Mots Competition, Alliance Française Sydney; and was a finalist in the 2018 Mandorla Art Prize and the 2017 Bowness Photography Prize. I was a finalist in the Chippendale New World Art Prize and the Agendo Art Prize in 2015, the 2010 National Youth Self Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in Australia and my work was featured in the People Gallery, National Geographic Magazine Photo Contest in 2010. I received a 2017 PhotoAccess Canberra Artist Support Package; My artwork explores redundancy and urban change. My interest is in objects, structures, buildings and the urban landscape, and in particular the increasing number of ‘non-places’ that fill our environment. Waste centres, derelict service stations, road works, car parks and abandoned factories. Beauty is found in these places of repulsion, neglect or obsolescence. Inverted images of rubbish emphasise the negative side of consumerism, like an x-ray points out disease. Portraits of people with their weekly waste explored Italo Calvino’s suggestion that we are defined by what we dump. Cracked car windows and night road works are a metaphor for the central place roads play in capitalism.
