Exhibition: Changing Light – Tim Faircloth

‘Changing Light takes visitors on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Tasmania. This collection of black and white photographs captures the changing light of mountains, dramatic coastlines, delicate alpine flowers, and impressive waterfalls, revealing the raw beauty of Tasmania’s wilderness and some of the State’s favourite places.

The exhibition features some large-scale works that allow viewers to fully immerse themselves in the grandeur of Tasmania’s landscapes. These monumental pieces provide a unique and captivating perspective on the natural beauty of the island.

This exhibition marks the 25th anniversary of Tim’s first solo exhibition. It is also a profound response to an issue that results in a temporary loss of vision, underscoring the precious and transient nature of sight and light.

Tim had the unwavering support and companionship of good friends and family. He would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all those who provided encouragement, inspiration, and assistance throughout this journey.’ Media release.

Tim Faircloth is a classically trained film photographer, specialising in black and white photography. He uses a large format wooden field camera and vintage lenses, developing his sheet film in a home darkroom.

Tim is a two-time winner of the Dombrovskis Award for nature photography. His inaugural solo show, “Beyond the Next Range,” was held at this gallery 25 years ago, celebrating South West Tasmania. His second Dombrovskis Award led to the publication of the book “Landscape” and a traveling exhibition throughout Tasmania, shared with all four initial Dombrovskis Award winners.

Born and raised in Tasmania, Tim has been fortunate to explore many of its beautiful areas, drawing endless inspiration from the island’s diverse natural landscapes. His work captures the essence of Tasmania’s mountains, rivers, and unique flora, showcasing the ever-changing light and timeless beauty of these environments. Tim’s artistry is a tribute to the natural world and a reflection of his deep connection to his Tasmanian heritage.
