Abstract
This is a series of large-scale photographic prints on archival rag paper
They were produced during my doctoral research and exhibited for my solo PhD graduating exhibition in August 2013 at the ANU School of Art gallery. They address numerous aspects of automobility, including the often ‘unseen’ impacts of cars in contemporary society and the environmental consequences of the mass-consumption of automobiles throughout the world. These artworks are in one sense landscapes and are intended to draw attention to the presence of the car in our environment and they are also close-up documentary photographs of car-crash fragments found in situ. In the latter they are a visual record of a contemporary archaeological signature that often goes unnoticed or overlooked, like the car and its broader influence in the world.
