Shaan Herbert, Where the wild things are (PLACES 2021)

Equal Parts beauty and underlying dread, the Australian bush has always been a dichotomy. An unforgiving beast yet stunningly beautiful. In this image I have attempted to portray just that,. Do you dare go into the deep dark valley to explore with oblivion, or do you have a sense of fear and dread treading deeper into the chasm? A tribute to early Australian Landscape Artists and my views on the nature of the Australian Landscape.
