My work is based on vintage postcards, usually with a focus on swimming pools and attractions from the 60s to the 80s. By mining the imagery of Big Things, public pools and pale, soon-to-be-sunburned tourists frolicking in the sun, I seek to both capture and question the idealised concept of Australia and the landscape that souvenir imagery so often presents us with. Using humour and a sense of the uncanny I hope to explore the uneasiness present in the way we look at the colonised landscape.
