Peter Ogden, Amorphous (B&W 2022)

When the mist falls and clings to the land, our national parks become otherworldly places; magical realms where anything seems possible. The mist dampens the sound and all that can be heard is dew dripping from leaves. Tough, strong and defiant, Australia’s iconic trees are truly twisted when the mist rises. Like ghosts, they’re always there, lurking in the corner of our vision, their tortured shapes, their human quality…as if they have turned themselves inside out to adapt to life in the harshest of environments. In mono, that otherworldliness seems even more apparent and the amorphous patterns of our majestic trees in the morning mist are something to behold.
