--Adelaide is home. Relaxation is Victor Harbor. I'm a frustrated photographer who has lost his way in life.I have trouble coping in the technological mode of being of our complex digital world.
Abstraction in photography in Australia has historically had a low profile and it is rarely mentioned in the photographic histories. My own black and white rock studies photos at Victor Harbor refer back to the work of Charles Bayliss at the Jenolan Caves:
Charles Bayliss, Brides Veil, Imperial Cave, Jenolan Caves, New South Wales, 1888, NLA
The photographic curators would talk about this kind of work as a document or a record, but it transgresses this positivist understanding of 19th century photograph; and it does so without linking abstraction to spirituality.
