‘Lilli Waters (born 1983, Armidale, NSW) is a fine arts photographer whose work explores the human condition through dramatic images of the female form in haunting, windswept landscapes. A Lilli Waters image has a painterly quality, evoking the Pre-Raphaelites with macabre, foreboding elements, a jewel-like palette and a sensitive use of light. Waters makes use of translucent fabrics and long hair to obscure the identities of her subjects, suggesting that the image might be just as much a mirror for the viewer, as it is a portrait.’ – curatorialandco.com

I thought Lilli Waters work could be interpreted as linking to Anthropocene because the subject of the image is seen to be covered in a plastic like material, which links to Jeremy Carrols images of being trapped in fish netting. This combined with the location of the images being in natural landscapes further displays the anthropocentric nature of the images, humans effect (the subject) on nature (the background).
