Reflections on Stony Creek Collective

A photo essay reflecting on Stony Creek Collective – a multi-art form project in response to the destruction of the South-East Australian foothill forests. In 2019, Australia was in an extinction crisis. In the summer of 2019/2020, 85 per cent of Australia’s south-east forests burnt. Billions more plants, animals, birds, insects, lizards perished. Clear fell logging, removing all living things from the forest, resumed six months later. My flat surfaces all laid down in the cool dirt. I dance, she photographs. How to live with this ruin?
