The series recalls the deep time of earth when Gondwanaland was the supercontinent and prehistoric creatures roamed. Each photograph becomes, in the artist’s own words, “a memory you can’t quite pinpoint”. These lucid images offer a point of reflection for us to consider the history of these places and the vitality of protecting them into the future. Traversing the World Heritage rainforests along the north-east Queensland portion of the Great Dividing Range the series includes fleeting moments captured in Babinda Boulders, Millaa Millaa Falls and the Daintree National Park.

She left the law practice when given the opportunity to assist Miles Aldridge in London. Kate’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Melbourne, Sydney, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Miami, and at art fairs across Europe.
