Episode notes
Dave Carswell is a photographer with an interest in long form storytelling through methods of portraiture, landscape and still life. Dave spent his early years in Queenstown and is now based in Launceston, Tasmania. While engaging with the Q-Bank artists residency in October, Dave and Emmalie recorded a conversation together. Dave discusses being a Dave, not a David, McDonalds possibly being the most notable mark of entry to the metropolitan world, how and why we assign value to particular memories, engaging in a slow practice, editing his photographs before the work exists, the tension experienced between man and nature, shifting from the external world to the internal and revisiting the past.
