​Last Light is a tribute to a place that is in a state of transience. My family home, a lovely but dilapidated house in Western Sydney, is in the final stages of transferring to a new owner, who plans to demolish the house to develop the land. I have aimed to capture the feeling of being in the space, using pieces of it to express its intangible qualities that are nonetheless held within the materials themselves. Insect-eaten fence palings show the house’s intersecting relationship to nature, while weathered metal and plastic show the accumulation of their exposure to the weather.

The accompanying photographs capture the light and the many interesting visual moments that decades of living in the space have created – a dusty broken windowpane becomes softly luminous in the afternoon, while a sprawling elm tree drops dappled light into the yard. Printed onto delicate, handmade washi papers, these images are gentle reflections of an atmosphere swimming with ambience.
