A weathered timber shack stands isolated on Myrtle Mountain. Its corrugated iron roof sags, and paint peels from the walls, revealing layers of forgotten history and the slow decay of time.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

A weatherboard shack and a smaller timber outbuilding sit low in thick green grass. The corrugated iron roof has rusted to a patchy red and white, its ridgelines soft with age. Curtains hang loose behind dirty windows. A satellite dish clings to the roof of the outbuilding. Behind the structures, a large spreading tree dwarfs everything beneath it. Open sky takes up more than half the frame. No fences beyond the immediate yard. No neighbours.

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.
