"Over forty-eight hours, I set out to meet the trees that gather around Puzzle. Carrying a bag of tin-can pinhole cameras, I kept each one company for half an hour at a time, making long exposures, noting its species, marking its place on the map.
Back in a Chippendale bathroom-turned makeshift darkroom, the latent images surfaced. They were later printed on mulberry paper and laid to rest in a Tassie oak box, nestled beside their original negatives.
Between the Sun and the Shade is a Tree In Chippendale is quiet record of Chippendale’s steadfast locals; trees that, despite the quickening pace of the streets around them, continue to move at their own rhythm. A tempo that feels worth trying to match."
