Exhibition 2020 | Photo
Emily DixonThe aim of my folio was to explore “the connections within the natural and manmade landscape, with the incorporation of the human form,” more precisely how people feel when interacting with nature. The focus of my photographs was to consist of people in a variety of landscapes within Victoria, in an attempt to capture the beauty of our country and the importance of its preservation while demonstrating the desire and need many people feel to be a part of nature. Due to COVID-19 this original plan to photograph widely throughout Victoria changed, and instead I photographed in urban Melbourne. These three final pieces cohesively work together to illustrate how people can connect with their surrounding naturalistic environments even in the midst of a pandemic. The juxtaposition of the black and white photograph and the two coloured photographs, paired with the painting aim to add more depth and further portray the connections between human nature and its surrounding environments. |
