'His photographs have their own powers of
transformation. Towers of almonds, covered haphazardly with plastic sheeting
and held down by car tires, become a misty valley; a rainbow ends not in a pot
of gold but at an opal-mine junk yard. Kids at the top of the stairs on a
playground slide call to mind brushtail possums caught in the beam of a
flashlight. A man lies face down on his horse, and a hat has fallen to the
ground--it is the horse, not the man, who seems likeliest to have lost it.' Helen Sullivan The New
Yorker

Adam Ferguson began photographing Australia's interior in 2013 in an attempt to dispel sentimental and outdated narratives around the 'Outback'--a place central to the identity and development of modern day Australia.
His photographic survey, made over a 10-year period, depicts fading traditional events, shrinking small towns, Aboriginal connection to Country, the impacts of globalisation and the adversity of climate change to illustrate the complex realities of contemporary life in the 'Outback'.
