Haunted Forest #20 - Mark Kimber

Haunted Forest #20 by SA artist Mark Kimber - Finalist in the 2024 Heysen Prize for Landscape.

This landscape image is a meditation on the ephemeral nature of memory and the subtle presence of place. Rather than offering a clear representation or documentation, the work lingers on the periphery, embracing ambiguity and the trace elements that evoke a sense of past and presence. It captures the quiet, almost intangible remnants of a moment, a fleeting encounter that hovers between the seen and the unseen. The image intertwines intimate proximity with a distant, beckoning horizon, creating a tension that invites contemplation. It is less about defining a specific location and more about exploring the resonance of what once was—a remembrance of something that can no longer be fully grasped yet continues to echo. This work encourages viewers to engage with the landscape not just as a physical space, but as a layered, emotional terrain where memory, distance, and the passage of time converge in a delicate, almost haunting balance.
