- https://www.morgannamagee.com/about = Her practice explores human relations to the more-than-human world using traditional photographic practices in non-traditional ways. ETHICAL STATEMENT I acknowledge my position as a settler on stolen Bunurong land in my daily life and art practice. This land has been a place of art making, ceremony, learning, design, politics, wisdom and care for 85,000 years before my existence and will continue to be long after I am gone. I believe I have a duty to show love and care to the country on which I am situated and use my position as a photographer to pay it reverence. The process I use to make photos is slow and deliberate. All images made of the more than human world are done with respect and care. I do not trod on areas where no paths have been made and all animals are free to come and go willingly from the frame of my camera. I never photograph with a long lens, the animals in the photos I make have chosen to allow me to be close and I endeavour to listen to animals however they wish to tell me if they do not want to be photographed. I will never photograph an animal in distress. Images of animals deceased are made to honour their lives and allow me to reconcile my own grief for their deaths. https://www.morgannamagee.com/what-it-is-never-it-was#8 = Never it was Made over many years, in many locations, this work serves as an exploration of quiet moments as meditation on the beauty of melancholy.
