Odd Match
It is a series of portraits showing the way in which couples and their looks correspond to each other.The juxtaposition of the two halves of their faces creates a compromise, like in a relationship. As a result, a surprising third portrait is being created, an entirely new third face.
The heroes of these portraits were amazed to discover many mutual features in their faces. They analysed them profoundly and were able to clarify certain aspects of their relationship.
The Promised Land
It is a story about Australian landscapes, about open space and about monuments constructed by man in the form of houses, huts, electricity posts, railways.
These monuments are fragile and perishable. They prove once again our arrogance towards the power of nature.
