ABC The Arts Show with Michael Do

Some landscapes don't just surround us, they get inside us. A windswept farm, a rugged coastline, a cave heavy with shadow: they're places that don't fade, but lodge in the memory.

​

The work of photographer and video artist Sarah Rhodes, who was part of the ABC's Top 5 Arts program in 2025, explores the emotional registers of place: how landscapes can be more than just backdrops, and can instead become part of who we are.

 

Sarah was a recent recipient of an honourable mention at the Bowness Photography Prize for her work, Chamber of Projection I.
