Abstract
South Australia is the driest state in the driest continent. The overlooked Mid North region of South Australia has homes full of small adjustments to the climate. We have overlooked the importance of the geographic ensemble in shaping life-worlds, domestic culture and history. Surveying, analyzing and appropriating real estate images has provided a way to use private images in an imaginative, essential capacity, illuminating the place making changes to a broader audience. An unstudied aesthetic of the region has been discovered, which provides reflective opportunity to both the Mid North region and the wider world. Painting, using my photo collages as a guide, allows me to add or subtract elements, and has the capacity to contribute to an interdisciplinary role with humanistic geography, with its poetic truth. With the possibility of climate change, practices from the Mid North may have applications beyond the area.
