Samuel Finlayson, Motif (Art (2019))

This series of images was formed by the realization that the natural landscapes that I gravitate towards are a places for me to be silent and secluded. And the images I came away with each time spoke of this stillness. Within even the most harsh and weathered country there exists certain motive and texture of emotion. Australia’s countryside is wildy diverse but within each area I wanted to reveal a pattern of image and mood. Showing how for me, the intricate details of the natural world can provide moments of introspection and insight.
