ON A QUIET DAY I CAN HEAR HER BREATHING: a new exhibition by @rae_begley reflects on nature, on Earth as a living organism. 🌿 The photographs were made with a slow intensity of exploration through the physical act of walking and site-responsive connections to remote environments. The exhibition includes work by Begley developed during an artist residency with La Wayaka Current in the indigenous community of Coyo in the Atacama Desert, Chile, the driest nonpolar desert in the world. Performative in the process of their creation, each reportage work is happened upon, captured during physically demanding expeditions in locations from extended travel outside the desert as well, locations she refers to as on planet Earth. ‘On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing’ is a meditation on time. As humans, we are slow to act to protect the environment from our own destruction, to halt its decline, to care for home, our golden earth. 🌏✨ Exhibition runs August 11-September 4 @woollahragallery at Redleaf.
