Canberra winters can be cold and bleak but also rewarding, as the cold air can make for great evening skies. Enduring the colder weather, walking in Golden Hour and Blue Hour, seeing the landscape illuminated from different directions continues to lure me. Walks which begin in daylight and end returning in the dark always adds to the fulfilment. The time of day when your eye is cast upward and outward to the vastness of the sky above. For me, watching these transitions in light is uplifting, as daily emotional stumbling blocks dismantle in my mind. It starts with Golden Hour, the light occupies space from the luminosity of the sun, and I walk amongst the long shadows of the trees. Then the captivation of Blue Hour, the sky gently scatters sunlight, and objects appear to have a deep blue tint. My focus becomes nothing other than fascination. How could I recreate these uplifting emotions from these visual experiences?
This body of work draws from investigations and studies on my reflection and recollections of the Gold to Blue transition.
