Into the wild is a continued exploration and documentation of our existence within the natural environment. The freedom we feel and how this positively reflects both within ourselves and out into the community. We are a reflection of nature, and nature reflects back at us how perfectly imperfect we are as humans. We need to learn how to be more like nature, accepting the continuing changes in our bodies. Immersing ourselves in nature teaches us to relax, unwind and breathe – finding peace in a busy digital age.
All works are captured on film and printed by myself in the darkroom.
Kalyanii Holden is an Australian artist based on Turrbal land who works between photography and ceramics. She is most widely known for her black-and-white photography, focusing on portraiture. Her art practice is strongly influenced by her love of nature, to which she feels most connected.
Kalyanii’s work has been exhibited in local galleries around Queensland and New South Wales. She has been a finalist in The National Photographic Portrait Prize and the Olive Cotton Award in 2019 and 2021, and last year, she was awarded the Martin Kantor award through Brightpace St Kilda.
