Don Saunderson, The Art of the Snow Gum (LANDSCAPE 2024)

Within Kosciuszko National Park, the enduring snow gums tell a story of survival in extreme conditions. Captured here in their natural environment, these trees exhibit a quiet strength, their twisted forms and textured bark bearing witness to the passing of seasons. Their resilience is understated, much like the landscape they adorn—a testament to the austere beauty that thrives in Australia's high country. These images seek to honour that simplicity and strength, presenting the snow gums as they are: unembellished and majestic in their own right.
