Since moving to the territory in 2003, Australian Catherine Cloran noticed this juxtaposition of nature and culture. In Displaced, she explores the environment and mass consumption through digital imaging. Her small to medium-sized lambada prints on canvas are crisp and rich in colour.

Some images are seemingly unrelated, but after a few moments similarities begin to emerge. In Fish and High-rise (2004), two semi-circular fish (combined to form an oval shape) are hung to dry. The dried translucent orange flesh reveals its orderly bone structure and scales. In the distance, tall green buildings show the systematic grid-pattern of windows and beams.

In Shell and High-rise (2005), the top two-thirds of the canvas feature an image of a plastic seashell lying in sand. In the corner, foot prints and water bubbles suggest the photograph was taken at the beach. On the bottom, yellow buildings match the colour of the plastic shell, indicating how man-made items can be found next to elements of nature.

Cloran also investigates displacement with shapes. In Squid (2005), a piece of squid is flattened and dried like laundry, which appears in the background. Shirt sleeves drop towards the ground like two long tentacles. In Trees and Roots (2005, left), Cloran highlights a close-up of tree roots with a photograph of three plastic grey trees, suggesting that much of what we consume is inspired by nature.
