When I was in Sydney on the weekend I popped into the highbrow Museum of Contemporary Art on Sunday after I became fed up with very touristy market in The Rocks. I wanted a quiet space from all the tourism and commericalism.
I caught the the unquiet landscapes of Rosemary Laing exhibition by the Sydney-based Australian photographer Rosemary Laing.

Afterwards I had coffee and cake at the MCA coffee shop and paid a pretty special price for the glistening water view of Circular Key to the Toaster.
I was most taken by the series dealing with landscape including groundspeed (2001) and the more recent work dealing with the South Australian landscape; rather than the earlier Flight research series (1999).In the groundspeed series of photographs, Laing is depicting a joining between organic (trees and rocks) and synthetic materials made of synthetic fibres (carpet).
Similarly with:
