A Lost Place: Imagined landscape and head of a Long Nosed Bandicoot

(Left): An image of the Royal National Park, outside of Sydney (dharawal country), Australia. The photograph was painted and reworked with paint and inks. The Royal National Park is an immense area of wilderness on the outskirts of Sydney which is continually under threat of wildfires. Residents of Helensburgh, a town nearby, are forced to evacuate during these wildfires. (Right): Specimen of a Long Nosed Bandicoot, Grant Museum of Zoology, London UK. The image was made using a large format camera and then hand printed in the colour darkroom.
