| "Often we think of the “environment” being somewhere out there far away in national parks and nature reserves yet in Sydney there are wonderful pockets of natural environment throughout the inner city. Yes, they are reserves now and they are protected in national park now but they are here right under our noses. In Urban Wilderness I record some of these places but juxtapose a parallel ‘narrative’, A Common Sense of Nature which shows the inadequacy of language to express the true complexity and diversity of the environment. The banality of a statement such as “nature is green” or “nature is pretty” matches the repeating floral graphic and at the same time creates a foil to the diversity of “nature” captured in the photos."
