COVID Streets

For months this year and last year Sydney has been subjected to stay at home orders, and when not subject to those orders there have been restrictions on movement with state and federal border closures and restrictions on socialisation. In my usual creative practice, I would go to a place and stay awhile and get to know the landscape before photographing it. My preference is for remote landscapes and/or minimalist abstract architecture. With travel out the most buildings closed, I needed a new topic to keep me sane. This meant I've had to rethink my photographic practices. So I turned to the streets call home. I walked down streets and allies I had never been down, looked at the places I had traditionally passed through to get from A to B as my new canvas. I tried to see how the streets had changed and how that felt a someone who traditionally avoided such spaces because there were too many peolpe.
