The works in the Dryads in Black series are about perception and memory; how particular elements in the bush – in this instance the baroque, anthropomorphic forms of the Angophora Costada or Sydney Apple Gum – resonate with meaning. Isolating each form, revealing it by contrast with the void of pure black, evokes the mystery which the bush seems to communicate.
Working in photo media gives the particular quality of image reality; post image production gives me a direct interface between reality and imagination, a way to actualize metaphor.
The form of each tree is unchanged; these trees are as found in the bush. By subtracting the surrounding tangle of undergrowth I can show each tree as I perceive it, or as it reveals itself in my mind. Each one has its own persona: the bride; the journeyer emerging from darkness to freedom; the sleeper, the expression of anguish …… the body language of trees.

Unreal photos…just great
To me these have something very bodily and organic to them, beyond the fact that it ofcourse is organic, more like raw flesh and bone aswell as it gets into your naked soul…
Thank you, those are beautiful words, to move someone like that is the reason to show your work.
Hi Trish, this series is really beautiful. The one at the bottom looks like an antlered head to me. Amazing.
Thank you – and my apologies for being so tardy in responding! I have been thinking about animism a great deal lately, because I have been discovering a little about the aboriginal people, their beliefs, and in particular, the rock engravings that abound in this area – an hour or so’s drive north of Sydney. This impulse, to find spirit or meaning in nature, seems pretty deeply embedded in human beings. Shamanism is presumably the earliest form of religion. I think this is why we respond to, for instance, these tree forms that look like people or animals, with such pleasure.
Hello my name is Sarah Ballard and I just wanted to drop you a quick message here instead of calling you. I discovered your Trish Neil | Living and working on the Central Coast, NSW. website and noticed you could have a lot more visitors. I have found that the key to running a successful website is making sure the visitors you are getting are interested in your subject matter. There is a company that you can get keyword targeted visitors from and they let you try their service for free for 7 days. I managed to get over 300 targeted visitors to day to my site. http://laendle.it/y/4

Поездки с животными – это необходимое занятие в ежедневнике каждого владельца собак, кошек и других специфических четвероногих друзей. Достаточно часто ехать нужно сейчас. Да и стоимость у таксопарков сильно возрастает, когда они узнают, что путешественник – это собака (даже если очень воспитанная и в наморднике) или кто-то более специфический: питон, лиса, лемур.
