Carnarvon Fibreglass - BO WONG

“My work focuses on the built environment of regional Western Australia. I’m interested in architectural and sculptural representations of the boom and bust cycle. For me they are illustrations of ambitions - dashed and rehashed - over and over again.

The weathering of surfaces under our unrelenting sun-filled skies gives me pause to consider the nature of my place in and on this Country. I often feel both completely out of place and deeply connected, all at once.

I use photography to sharpen my way of seeing as I travel throughout the state, reckoning with shared histories and marking my place within it. I never ‘take’ photos. I feel they are given to me, and it is through this process of seeing that I can begin to know, just a little more than I did before. ”
