My print series, Un-resettling, came about when I was studying photography in Hobart at the Tasmanian School of Art in 2012. I was in a class with photographers who predominantly looked at landscape, mostly Tasmania, but a common phrase that the non-Indigenous photographers would say is the ‘Australian landscape’ is untouched. But they would quickly comment that Aboriginal people had been there before.
As an Aboriginal person, when I look at the landscape, I see that it's an Aboriginal landscape and that our culture has been removed due to British colonisation. And so, for me, I wanted to create a body of work that symbolised our absence in our landscape and I chose the title (Deleted Scenes) from an Untouched Landscape.
