Series 3, 2023

Sammy Hawker is a Canberra-based visual artist who collaborates with insects, oceans and rivers to create unique photographs. Most recently she has used beehives as part of her process, letting bees create hive patterns on top of analogue film of landscapes. By inviting in these more-than human forces to interact with the negative, she disrupts her authorial control over the image. Moving beyond just capturing a moment, her photographs can be seen as conversations with landscape. — produced by Richard Mockler.
