The stories of “the killing times” are the ones we have heard in secret or told in hushed tones. They are not the stories that appear in our history books yet they refuse to go away. 

The Dark Forgetting uses distorted and disfigured landscapes to depict the violence of Australia’s early frontiers. Photographed in the sites of conflicts and massacres which occurred in the Bathurst War (New South Wales, Australia), this series reflects upon Australia’s untold history, and the immeasurable toll that this has had on Australia’s First Nations people and the cultural identity of the nation.
