Bundanon: Terra Firma – Terra Alba: Diane Epoff
“The problem is to understand these strange relationships which are woven between the parts of the landscape, or between it and me as an incarnate subject, and through which an object perceived can concentrate in itself a whole scene or become the image of a whole segment of life.”
- Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception
Through fieldwork at Bundanon,the cultural landscape is mapped and analysed, and relationships between perceived dual forces are explored in works which contemplate associations between: settler and country, clearing and bush, introduced species and native, home and habitat, past and present, visible and invisible, and light and shadow.
Alluding to postcolonial notions of place and emplacement, these images employ both traditional and digital photographic techniques and processes, and reveal complex and contradictory relationships through a visual discourse which is further layered with Diane’s personal experience and vision of Bundanon.
