‘Grant me the serenity’ (on going) is a character study set in the remote mountains of western lutruwita/Tasmania documenting Peter, an enigmatic and creative individual who migrated to the area six years ago. Peter lives on the cusp of change both in his personal life and amongst the social and environmental developments that play out within the landscape that he inhabits. The work draws together the juxtapositions of intimacy and expanse with humour whilst examining themes of isolation, relational tension, mortality and escapism.
