The Stairway to Heaven
In 2020, I was fortunate enough to capture a couple of fur seals romancing on the steps of a rarely used wharf at Chowder Bay Sydney. Harbour. I called the shot - The Stairway to Heaven. One year later, Chowder BaBy! The Chowder Bay fur seal family sun themselves on the steps of their Sydney waterfront home with their new 6 month old offspring as I kayaked past on the weekend.
Mesmerism
Mesmerism is a short film capturing a moment in kayaking when suddenly I am breathtakingly embraced in a way only nature in its epicness can. Scott’s Creek entrance from Middle Harbour, Sydney is disguised and not easily found. Yet every time I enter this place - the silence, gentleness of the flow of the water, the light filtering through the trees - creates a sense of entering an ancient place that can only be described as mesmeric.
Brush Strokes from Nature 1
I love it when I am so surprised by a shot I can't wait to share it!! Brush Strokes from Nature 1 is one of those shots. I had been kayaking in the Clontarf Marina location for weeks because I felt it might offer something. Previous shots in that location hadn't produced anything.

Australian Photography Magazine May 2021 Features Ralph Kerle
MIke O’Connor, Editor, Australian Photography Magazine, went on a very early morning journey with me to experience my creative practice firsthand. The conversation that evolved whilst we were kayaking in Middle Harbour, Sydney, Australia enabled me to expand on the philosophy behind my artwork and how that informs my artmaking.
The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Me
Sometimes social media surfaces gold. I wanted feedback on a new online gallery software platform I have been showcased coming out of Germany. I wasn't certain whether I liked it and how viewers on social media might. So I asked the question on LInkedin.
The Story of the Gold in the Desert Collection
This exhibition is the result of journeys I made to the UAE between 2015 and 2019 to explore the fluid edges of Dubai, a city built from oil and awash with gold, perched ostentatiously on the edge of a sun scorched desert and the Arabian gulf.
The Future of Brightness
The Future of Brightness connects with everything I perceive uniquely Australian in my cultural subconscious. The artwork suggests the rich ochres on which our ancient land is built and from which the culture of our indigenous peoples created their dreamtime stories. It pushes into the vast unknowable horizons we live with on a daily basis.
