Mac Nichols is currently showing three works from his ongoing research and photographic investigations undertaken as part of Graduate Coursework program at ANU in the Photography and Digital Media Arts Workshop.

“Liminal Suburbia is a photographic response to the contemporary suburban landscape that we inhabit: not the ordered lawns and smooth asphalt streets but the marginal zones at the edge of suburbia where secret urges and behaviours are played out. The “no-mans-lands” at the verges of our urban environment. They are not conventional landscape images, none of the normal place signifiers exist; horizon, sky, time of day, point of view etc. The images use “flatbedding” for its objective anonymity and ignorance of the coded vision that a camera and lens automatically bring to the subject. They appear as assembled pseudo scientific surveys of the surface of the urban wasteland in all its revealing detail.”

The paper selected for these large prints was Canson Infinity Arches Velin Museum Rag.
