A derelict dwelling occupies a windswept Hunter hilltop. Its broken windows stare out over the valley, a silent sentinel to decades of forgotten lives. The structure slowly yields to the elements.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A low timber shed sits in open green pasture beneath an overcast sky. Corrugated iron roofing has rusted to a deep orange, galvanised coating long gone. Weathered hardwood boards form the walls, grey and split. A single dark doorway opens at centre. A tall eucalypt rises behind the roofline, pale bark peeling from its upper limbs. Forested hills dissolve into haze beyond.

The series

A Place to Call Home

2015–2020 · 59 photographs

A series of rural homesteads from the Snowy Monaro region of southern New South Wales, with a few from the Hunter Valley. Most were family homes left behind when a generation moved to town; others when the land could no longer be worked. The buildings are smaller than the industrial sites that anchor most of Lost Collective and tend to be older. Most are timber-framed.
