It was in Gollings’ aerial documentation of the destruction of the environment by mining companies that he found an ironic reference, through the wasted overburden from the mines, to the bucolic and informative mapping by the indigenous peoples of Australia. He has continued to find ironies in his ongoing aerial study of the Australian landscape with climate change providing grist to the ongoing mill. Prophetically, Gollings has also been documenting the aftermath of bushfires since 1984 as further evidence of European mismanagement with his eye finding a compelling beauty in the now visible landscape.

 “While documenting the destruction of the environment by mining companies for the Venice Biennale I found an ironic reference, through the wasted overburden from the mines (some of the largest man-made holes in the world) to the bucolic and informative mapping by the Indigenous peoples of Australia. I have continued to find these ironies as I study the Australian landscape with climate change providing grist to the ongoing mill. Prophetically, I have also been documenting the aftermath of bushfires since 1984 as further evidence of European mismanagement, finding a compelling beauty in the now visible landforms.”
