Habitats
Johnston Gallery, Mosman Park WA, 2008.
Stills Gallery, Paddington NSW, 2008.
This work presents a number of artificial habitats for animals. These purpose built spaces are found in zoos, shows and aquariums around the world. The inhabitants of these spaces are absent and so we are left to ponder what animal may reside there. As more of their natural habitat is destroyed, these simulated environments may be the only way that we can engage with other animal species of the natural world in the future.
The images Habitat #1, #2, #3, #8, #10, and #12 are also available in a larger print size of 98 x 77 cm, each in a limited edition of six.
