Toxicity 2007
inkjet print

In order to progress, mankind has destroyed and corrupted anything that stands in its way. I sought to portray this toxic invasion in an abstract form, representing humanity as a dark, relentless force progressively dominating and overtaking the pristine blue of the world. After taking many photos of Melbourne on a beautiful day, I experimented by using spray-paint over acetate sheet, the chemicals mixing together to create different effects. I then scanned and printed the results. My images relate to my passion for the environment, reflecting the world today and the need for change.
