A special thank you to Sarah Natali, Festival Director and gracious host for inspiring the exhibition, housing me during lockdown and making it all happen as part of the Art is… Unexpected Festival.

Over 300 snapshots of animals captured and portrayed in sequence of where they died in relation to the road. The pictures are a real-world visual reference of wild creatures, domestic animals, sea life, birds and even insects, some close to extinction others considered pests that have died in our front gardens, pathways, urban streets, outback dirt roads, country highways and even shorelines. The final result emerged with an inventory of image variables, presented as a graphic arrangement of qualitative contents, curated and pre-arranged, open for exploration and interpretation.
