Southern Highlands

Southern Highlands is David’s first solo exhibtion in Sydney in 2004. It captures the beauty of this region. The autumnal, ochre colours , the winter blacks and blues, the springtime tulips with the promise of summer. Shot in transparency film - during the four seasons of 1997, these photos were taken at Kerever Park Burradoo, just outside Bowral. This was a peaceful place where adolescents and adults would come for quiet retreat with spiritual purpose. A place of contemplation and stillness - hosted by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart. A book titled ‘Harmony of the Heart” was produced and released in 1999.

“ I have a 30 year connection with the highlands, and strong relationsihio with Kerever Park. The seasonal changes always captivated me, especially the semi-sadness of autumn….and the thick mists of winter. I photographed these when on a solo, silent retreat from the world - a place of peace for me“
