The Challenged Landscape

20 April - 21 May 2010
Opening Tuesday 20 April 6-8pm

Not surprisingly there is a strong history of landscape photography in Australia. However in recent times this landscape has become challenged. The impact of climate change on the land and on species survival in this vast continent has become the focus of many artists working with photography.

Curated by Sandy Edwards, The Challenged Landscape documents the fate of rivers, the importance of water and the significance of trees and plants in the environmental chain, and the impact of global warming on plants and wildlife through bushfires.

Stephanie Valentin, Nici Cumpston, Bonita Ely, Peter Solness, Ruby Davies and Michael Hall

The Challenged Landscape is  part of the Head On Photo Festival, running from 29 April - 5 June
