Archaeology for lost landscapes

Archaeology for Lost Landscapes was made during lockdown in 2020 – semi-camping on my childhood farm while attempting to isolate without a home of my own. Surrounded by forgotten toys and shoeboxes of photos from 20 years of itinerancy, searching for sanity in stacks of unread books and the ancient art of paddock meandering.

Part personal narrative and part travelogue of the imagination, Archaeology for Lost Landscapes is an ode to strange times and the heady mix of past and present we all have just waiting to be dug up.
