Photo credit: Larissa Riss Melanie | The personal nature of the work reflects a place with family meaning and history. Growing up on the Sunshine Coast, the Glasshouse Mountains represents a continued presence of connection with the landscape. From enjoying the views on family picnics as a youngster, through to the heartbreak of spreading my sister’s ashes nearby - Four Seasons’ represents the struggles we have in life, piecing together haphazard memories, trying to make sense of ourselves and our existence, and reframing to give a sense of some achievement and accomplishment. It’s raw. It’s never finished. Make of it what you will, Four Seasons is all we have.
