This project records simple details in the landscape seen as the artist travels and explores Australia and Europe. Rugged coastal areas feature heavily: textures where surf and rock meet. Basic and raw, the world through Paley’s lens is rich, complex and beautiful, but dark too, often heavy with melancholy and seriousness.
