Tell me about this series. I read that while taking these photos for "El Niño," you drove around 3,000 kilometres?

For "El Niño," a lot of that work [has] been over four states, looking largely at the Murray-Darling Basin. Those distances can really put you off the beaten track, seeing these really degraded waterways—a lot of them damaged by bad human practices. One of the issues you’re dealing with is excess salinity that creates acid water. Once, I walked out into this body of acid water to photograph this cracked earth sitting underwater that had retained its shape. The thing about acid water, the water goes really clear like glass. I went walking out into this, with all these cameras on me, not realising that I was sinking into the ground and I couldn’t get out. I was completely by myself with no communications, sinking into the ground. No one knew where I was so I’m just thinking “Fuck. Is this how I’m going to fucking die? In some backwater acid bath?”
