"Vantage Point is a photographic response to the Metro Tunnel excavation sites from surrounding architecture and infrastructure.
After viewing the layers of history at the Flinders Quarters archaeological site visit, conducted in August 2018, I began to think about the ephemeral history that circulates around construction sites as the infrastructure changes.
Between 2018 and 2019 I photographed the excavation sites with two different cameras, a tripod mounted 5x4 view camera and a handheld 35mm camera, to create a fractured impression of a city in transformation from the vantages of surrounding buildings and streetscapes."
