‘ECOLOGICAL’ by

"I shot myself in some iconic places around Perth, Western Australia. I took several in the Beeliar Wetlands. A year ago, a highway was to be built through this unique ecosystem. I was arrested, along with about 100 others, in attempts to stop bulldozers destroying the endangered animals and plants. We lost big strips of nature, but saved a lot. Others were taken at the beach. I swim in the ocean every couple of days. Taking these photos, I felt very "myself". If you Google "Fremantle abandoned power station", you'll see spectacular photos of the abandoned power station and the graffiti it's covered in. This was a stone's throw from where I shot myself, but I couldn't capture myself with it due to security cameras and nearby hikers. While I shot myself here, a boat passed me. I stopped and waited for them to pass, but I'm sure they saw me before I noticed. Oops! The rest of my shots provide little glimpses of my personality. The lipstick images represent self love. I always cut my own hair. "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely is one of my favourite books. If you're a nerd who loves human nature and sociology, look it up! And skip to the chapter about arousal ;)"
